If you’ve lost teeth, you might be wondering if dental implant treatment is right for you. Implants are a great solution for many people – and you might be one of them.
Once they’ve been surgically placed in your jaw, dental implants fuse with your bone. They function a lot like natural tooth roots. Your dentist will attach replacement teeth to them.
The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate for implants is to schedule a consultation in our Tolland, CT office. To do so, call Neil Hoss, DMD at 860-926-3781 today.
In the meantime, check out some reasons that our practice is a great place to get a dental implant procedure:
- Dental Implant Expertise – Dr. Hoss is a graduate of the Misch Implant Institute, a widely respected facility that has been offering advanced implant training for 40 years. He has performed countless implant procedures. Unlike some dentists, he both places and restores implants. So you won’t need to see another doctor for any part of your treatment.Â
- Many Types of Treatment – Thanks to his advanced training, Dr. Hoss offers many different kinds of dental implant treatment. You can replace single teeth with implant crowns, multiple teeth with an implant bridge, or many teeth with implant dentures. He can also save you time and money on a full-mouth teeth replacement by performing an All-on-4, a special technique that uses just four implants to secure a full arch of replacement teeth.Â
- Soothing Sedation Options – Even with Dr. Hoss’ vast experience, it’s understandable to feel a bit nervous about dental implant placement. Your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia. You also have the option of receiving one of our two forms of calming sedation: mild, fast-acting laughing gas or oral sedation for a deeper level of relaxation.Â
- Lifelike Feel and Function – Your replacement teeth will feel and function more like natural teeth when they are attached to dental implants. The difference is especially noticeable with dentures. You won’t need adhesive to keep implant dentures in place, nor will you have to worry about unwanted movement of teeth. Your bite will be nearly as strong as it was before you lost teeth.Â
- Younger Looking Face – When you lose teeth, you also lose bone mass in your jaw. That’s because you no longer have tooth roots to provide the stimulation needed to keep your jaw strong. Dental implants provide this stimulation, so your jaw stays strong and intact. This helps avoid unwanted changes in your facial structure that make you look older.Â
