As you may know, a dental implant is a treatment designed to replace a lost tooth—but do you ever wonder if you’re a good candidate? If you have, there are a few things you should know.

If you decide on a dental implant, there are a few things you should know. For instance, did you know that your implants can be designed to blend with your smile beautifully? Or that they designed to feel like one of your natural teeth. You see, after an implant has been placed, your ability to chew, speak, and eat comfortably will be restored.

As you probably know, having healthy, natural teeth is the best way to keep your smile looking healthy, but with recent advancements, dental implants come close. For example, unlike dentures, which you have to replace about every five years, implants can last for more than 25 years. In fact, implants are durable enough that many patients never have to replace them.

If you would like to learn more about implants, we invite you to visit us. We will gladly inspect the health of your mouth and gums to see if you’re a good candidate. If you aren’t a good candidate for implants, we’ll be happy to recommend a different restoration.

If you have more questions about dental implants, or are simply interested in scheduling an appointment with Dr. Shane S. Porter, please feel free to give Premier Dentistry of Eagle a call at (208) 546-0655. We’ll gladly answer any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you
