The benefits of keeping all your teeth intact and in a good state of function is a fact that is well known and understood by dentists. This concept was also well understood by Dr Charles Mayo MD ( of Mayo Clinic fame) when he stated that "people who keep all their teeth live an average of 10 years longer than those who don't!" There are many options to replace missing teeth and dental implants have a number of advantages as opposed to dentures or a bridge.

* more life like: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth! Because they actually integrate with your jaw bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompanies bridgework and dentures.

* tooth-saving : Unlike a bridge where you must alter and remove healthy tooth structure on the adjacent teeth, dental implants allow your own teeth to be untouched and uninvolved

* self confidence: Dental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence! They are secure, they don't move or wobble and they don;t develop sores like dentures do. You also can throw the messy denture adhesives in the trash!

MINI-DENTAL IMPLANTS are the latest development in implant technology. This procedure can usually be completed in about an hour with no cutting of the gums and no stitches to be removed. This miracle procedure can be completed in one visit with virtually no discomfort.
