The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

A missing tooth is more than just a cosmetic concern it affects how you eat, how you speak, and how confident you feel in your daily life. Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they replace the entire tooth structure, including the root.

The implant itself is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to provide incredible stability. Once healed, a custom-crafted ceramic crown is attached to the post, ensuring your new tooth looks, feels, and functions very much like the one you lost. There is no slipping, no messy adhesives, and no extra maintenance required beyond your normal brushing and flossing routine.

Dr. Pooler will carefully evaluate your oral health to determine if implants are the right solution for you, focusing on the immense value and improved quality of life they provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I too old for dental implants?

Age is never the issue when it comes to dental implants; bone health and overall health are the determining factors. Most adults are excellent candidates. If there are concerns about bone density, we can often perform bone grafting to prepare the area.

While nothing in dentistry is truly permanent except for an extraction, dental implants are highly durable and designed to be a long-term solution. With excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, they can last for many years, though the ceramic crown attached to the implant may eventually need replacement due to normal wear and tear.

The process typically involves several stages: the surgical placement of the titanium post, a healing period of a few months to allow the post to fuse with the bone, and finally, the placement of the custom ceramic crown. We will guide you through every step of the journey.
