Are you missing one or more natural teeth?
Do you wear a denture or partial that has become uncomfortable?
Has your denture or partial caused you embarrassment?

Dental Implants are the most advanced tooth replacement system ever devised. You’ll be pleased to learn that...

Dental Implants CAN:

• Restore the look and feel of natural teeth
• Allow you to eat all the foods you love
• Enable you to talk, laugh and even sneeze without worry
• Preserve the jawbone by halting bone loss
• Improve comfort, speech and facial appearance

Dental Implants DO NOT:

• Require the support of adjacent teeth (no crowning needed)
• Cause embarrassing slips or clicks
• Develop decay or require root canals

COMMMON QUESTIONS INCLUDE:

WHAT IS AN IMPLANT?
An implant is a replacement tooth root held by your jawbone that recreates the strong foundation your natural teeth once had. The implanted portion is made from titanium, a biologically safe metal with an excellent success rate. Implants are designed in various shapes and sizes to fit individual needs.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF DENTAL IMPLANTS?  
In addition to the enhanced ability to chew and enjoy all types of food, implants restore your ability to laugh and speak with confidence. Because they are supported by the jawbone, uncomfortable movement and embarrassing slips are no longer concerns.

HOW LONG DO IMPLANTS LAST?  
When Dr. Andrews places your implants, they are intended to last your lifetime. While there is potential for complications in the future, Dr. Andrews has an excellent success rate.

IS THIS PROCEDURE PAINFUL?  
Your comfort is always a priority with Dr. Andrews and his staff. During implant placement, you are comfortably sedated. For a day or so afterwards, most patients do fine with over-the-counter pain medications while some say they had no discomfort.

HOW MUCH DO IMPLANTS COST?  
The fee depends upon the number of implants necessary; however, an implant is not always needed for each missing tooth. This can be determined after an examination by Dr. Andrews.

HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT TAKE?  
Some types of implants require only several visits while others can involve several months or up to a year. Once Dr. Andrews determines the treatment to accomplish your needs and preferences, he can provide specific details. For all procedures, he ensures you have replacement teeth and can enjoy your normal routine without worry.
