Regain Your Smile, Improve Your Life: The Advantages of Dental Implants

https://www.omscarbondale.com/anesthesia-options/

Missing teeth are more than just a cosmetic issue because they have long term consequences for your oral health and facial structure. Patients who have chosen dental implants have reported an increased quality of life due to the many advantages of implants including the improved ability to eat and chew, improved facial and bone features to prevent premature aging, better speech, and increased confidence.

A single implant generally replaces a single missing tooth whereas two or more implants can serve as a stable support for the replacement of multiple teeth. Dental implant surgery performed by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon is the most permanent solution available to replace missing teeth.

We are excited to announce that we were awarded the BioHorizons Platinum Award of Implant Excellence in recognition of our dedication and contribution to the field of implant dentistry! Our team is committed to providing our patients with the highest level of surgical care to ensure the best clinical outcome. A big thank you to Dan and the entire team at BioHorizons.
