Dental Implants
A remarkable achievement in dental science, implants are permanent restorations anchored in the jaw. For the right patient missing the right tooth, implants can restore the natural feeling of your own teeth. Most people who seek out dental implants want to steady a shifty denture, or bridge a large gap of several lost teeth. Whether a single-tooth implant or implants for an entire jaw, they can be an attractive alternative to fixed bridges or partial dentures.
Dental Implants are the most advanced method for replacing missing or broken teeth. Patients who receive implants are often amazed at how their implants function as well as, or even better than, their natural teeth. Our patients have gone as far as calling their implants their "third set of teeth". Implants, when combined with a bridge, crowns or dentures, will provide patients with a more secure and improved chewing ability. Dr. Hoos has been doing reconstructive implant work for the past ten years and surgical placement of implants in the last four years. Dental implants are devices for permanently attaching replacement teeth firmly to the gum and bone. The recent addition of the Implatome (X-ray machine) permits Dr. Hoos to precisely measure and determine the proper placement for the dental implant. Most patients receive both surgery and implant placement at the practice. Dr. Hoos will be pleased to provide a consultation.
