Overview
A Dental Implant?
Dental implants are biocompatible posts that replace the roots of your missing teeth. They are physically and biologically designed to attach to your jaw bone and become the foundation for a natural-looking restoration.Dental implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth. It is important to replace missing teeth for many reasons:
- Teeth adjacent to the missing tooth will tip (rotate) into the missing space. Given enough time (many years) the teeth adjacent to the missing space could rotate completely sideways (falling into the space where the missing tooth is).
- The combination of rotation and super eruption could lead to a collapse of the bite.
- Missing teeth decreases your ability to chew and can affect speaking.
- Missing teeth can negatively affect your smile.
Benefits of
Dental Implants
An implant and crown is practically indistinguishable from your natural teeth, and it fits so securely that you won’t even notice it when you chew and speak.When we place an implant, it’s not necessary for us to alter the structure of the adjacent teeth, so their strength and integrity is maintained.
Also, an implant replaces the roots of a missing tooth, which helps to lessen the bone loss that occurs when a tooth is missing. In essence, an implant is the next best thing to your natural tooth.

Absolutely one of the best dentists in town. As an administrator of a memory care home, our residents require a dentist who works well with special needs and conditions. Dr. Winn and his team have become indispensable to the oral health of our residents. Working with 'just the right amount' of sedation, Dr. Winn was able to clean, examine, x-ray and repair - all within one 1-hour visit.
