Replacing missing or damaged teeth is important to your general and oral health. If you have missing teeth due to injury, disease, or decay, dental implants may be a wonderful solution. Thanks to the advancements in dentistry techniques and technology, virtually anyone can be a candidate for dental implants. An implant is an artificial root that replaces the root of a missing tooth. The implant integrates with your existing bone and acts as an anchor, allowing the restoration to look and function naturally.
Dental implants look natural, produce a beautiful smile, and allow you to function (eat and speak!) as you did when your mouth was healthy. Dental implants are especially practical for people with poor fitting dentures.
The key to success and longevity in any implant procedure is the dentist's training and experience. If you are practicing good oral hygiene and keeping your regular appointments for cleanings and exams, force and stress become the #1 reason for implant failure. Therefore, distributing the forces properly on your bite is crucial. Dr. Fredericks' 25 years of experience combined with her advanced training in implant, neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry are important factors in her ability to produce optimal results.
