Implant Restorations

SERVING GRIFFIN AND HAMPTON AS YOUR FAMILY DENTIST

Are you missing teeth?  Have you postponed getting a bridge or denture? Do you wear ill-fitting, loose dentures right now?  At Allred Family Dentistry, we want to improve your quality of life with dental implants.

As the prosthetic that most closely mimics nature’s design, dental implants serve as substitute tooth roots.  Each implant is strategically placed in the jaw, where bone integrates with it to create a solid foundation for a crown, bridge or denture.  With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Benefits of Dental Implants include that they…

  • Promote bone retention
  • Eliminate slipping, loose, wobbly dentures
  • Don’t require support from healthy teeth
  • Can last a lifetime
  • Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
Q: What are my options to replace a missing tooth?

A: By replacing missing teeth either with a bridge or implant, you will alleviate the problems associated with missing a tooth and give your smile back its beautiful, full appearance. A bridge is one solution for replacing a tooth. By using neighboring teeth as the supportive structure, your dentist at Allred Family Dentistry places a tooth-colored restoration into the vacant space, restoring the functionality and look of your smile. A dental implant is also an excellent solution. Dental implants involve the placement of a titanium post directly into the jawbone. Once the post has integrated to the bone, it can act as a new, solid support for a natural looking, porcelain restoration. Implants can replace a single tooth, or an entire set of teeth, offering more function and permanence than traditional dentures.

Implant Supported Dentures

While typical dentures shift and require the use of denture adhesives to keep them in place, implants fit solidly, reducing the problems associated with traditional dentures such as gum sores, difficulty speaking, and difficulty chewing.
