Dental Implants
Are you missing teeth?
Do you wear dentures that you hate?
Do your replacement teeth look unnatural and unattractive?
With technology, contemporary procedures and materials, and the access Americans have to dental care, more people than ever before are keeping their natural teeth throughout life. Still, studies reveal that nearly 70% of adults in our country, between age 35 and 44, have lost at least one tooth. By age 74, more than a quarter of Americans lose all of their teeth. So if you need replacement teeth, you aren’t alone.
In the past, prosthetic dentistry was confined to dentures, partials, and bridges. Today, however, Dr. Martin can place long-lasting, natural-looking, solidly-anchored dental implants to replace individual teeth or to anchor dentures.
Because implants feature a crown and root, just like a natural tooth, they provide a more reliable prosthetic. Implant posts fit into the sockets left by missing teeth, then Dr. Martin can place one crown on each implant post, or a few implants can retain a denture.
If you want to eat anything, anytime, without worrying about your dentures slipping – or if you’re ready for a more natural-looking alternative to old bridgework, call Richmond Smile Center today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Charles Martin.
You can also sign up for Dr. Martin’s free dental implant seminar, to be held in our Richmond dental office.
