Dr. Wall performs dental implants. Implants are beneficial to patients who want to replace a missing tooth/teeth with one that feels and looks like their natural teeth. Implants involve surgical placement of the dental implant into the dental bone. This is followed by a healing time of a couple of months. Following adequate healing, a crown is fabricated and attached to the implant. The care of the implant is like the care of a natural tooth.
Is everyone a candidate for implants?
Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Dr. Wall would need to assess the patient to determine if they are a candidate for implants as many factors would need to be considered.
Are implants as strong as a natural tooth/teeth?
Yes, implants are as strong as natural teeth. The patient can eat, smile and function just as a patient who has natural teeth.
