Say Safe!

We are open and fully operating to serve your dental needs! In the past few months, we’ve navigated a time in modern history unlike any other. Across the country, elective medical and dental care paused to help stop the spread and reserve the limited supply of PPE. In that time, we adopted new practices and enforced our current precautions to ensure patient safety. We’re committed to helping each of you renew the priority you place on oral health. Thank you for your patience as we resume serving you to the highest standards. Call us today to get your appointment scheduled!

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can lead to a number of future problems if spaces are left unfilled. While several options to complete your smile may be available, dental implants deserve a close look. An array of natural options and long-term benefits make implants a valuable solution for even the most complicated situations. Find out how implants compare to other choices for filling gaps.

Dental implants open the door to solving many challenges in a way that provides a lifetime of benefits. Modern Essence Dentistry can help you put the pieces back together, and will consider numerous factors in our discussion with you.

Bridging the Gap

As you're driving along, you've probably marveled at the engineering behind a bridge that whisks you from one shore to another. Critical support on each side bears the load, year after year. A dental bridge works much the same way. Teeth on either side of a space can be used to support a replacement tooth engineered from durable materials. While this option often serves for a number of years, the load-bearing teeth may deteriorate after thousands of chewing cycles. In some cases, this leads to more missing teeth. A removable partial denture can also be used to replace missing teeth, although it's not always easy to tolerate. So when a dental bridge or removable partial denture is chosen, it needs to be designed to minimize the strain on the rest of your mouth. This is a vital assessment that your dentist can make and help you decide if either of these are the best choice for your mouth.

Replicating Nature

In many cases, dental implants offer a better alternative and take stress off the chewing system. When carefully placed in the bone of the empty space, they mimic the roots of the teeth. This means they bear the load the natural tooth used to hold, sparing the neighboring teeth from excessive forces. In some cases, two implants may be used to build a bridge spanning from one solid titanium piece to another. As the spaces grow larger more implants may be used in various combinations, even to firmly support full dentures.

A Solid Choice, A Solid Plan

Although the planning becomes more complicated with larger spaces, Modern Essence Dentistry will help you create a plan that fits the puzzle pieces into a masterpiece. Modern porcelains bring the brilliance of natural tooth surfaces to your smile. Blending years of scientific research with living art, single or multiple missing teeth may soon be a problem of your past.
