Dental Implants
Dental implants are a strong and long lasting option for people who have lost teeth due to gum disease, an accident or other difficulties. An implant consists of a metal post, placed beneath your gums, which acts as a replacement for the tooth’s original root structure. The replacement teeth – singularly or grouped on a bridge or denture – are then mounted by Dr. Van Gurp to the implant.
Dental Implants Recreate the Look, Feel and Function of the Natural Tooth
Whether you have lost one tooth or several, your dental implants offer you the opportunity to virtually go back to a time when you smiled with ease and confidence. By replacing the entire tooth, including the root, it is possible to recreate the look, feel and function of the natural tooth you once had. Once Dr. Van Gurp has completed the process, your smile will look as though you never lost any teeth at all.
Dental Implants Allow Denture Wearers to Eat and Speak with Confidence
If you are missing many or perhaps all of your teeth, dental implants can provide the foundation to support and secure your dentures, vastly enhancing the quality of your life. Because your dentures are stabilized with dental implants, you can look forward to eating, chewing and speaking with confidence and without fear of your dentures slipping and sliding out of place.
Another procedure that Dr. Van Gurp may recommend to patients who have experienced tooth loss is a dental bridge. For information on this treatment option, please refer to Dental Bridges.
