Expected Result
Despite improvements in dental care, millions of people still suffer from tooth loss due to tooth decay, gum disease, injury, and other causes. In the past, the only viable treatment options were bridges and dentures; however, today, dental implants are a better alternative for people with missing teeth. Since dental implants look, feel, and function like regular teeth, they allow the patient to live normally and smile with confidence.
Clearly dental implants are one of the finest treatment options dentistry has to offer. With their ability to improve the quality of your life and health it’s easy to understand why they have become the accepted alternative to traditional methods of replacing missing teeth.
• Are dental implants successful?
With more than three decades of clinical experience and over a million patients treated, implants are highly successful. Our statistics confirm a success rate of nearly 95 percent for individual implants* – even higher for the bridges they support. Dental implants placed in our first patient 35 years ago are still functioning today!
Results based on implants and bridges remaining and in function over a five-year period.
