Dental implants have become the new standard in tooth replacement solutions, because no other option offers their unique benefits, including natural bone stimulation. Whether you are looking to replace one tooth, multiple teeth or a full arch, the team at Traverse Dental is certified and skilled in placing dental implants to provide you with a permanent, natural-looking smile.
From difficulty chewing or speaking to lower self-confidence, even just one missing tooth can negatively impact your mental and physical health. Without treatment from a qualified doctor, your smile is also put at risk of further tooth loss, which may lead to a changing bite, multiple missing teeth, or edentulousness in one or both arches.
With dental implants, there is no worry of a shifting or changing smile. This is accomplished with a titanium fixture that implants directly into the bone, providing a stable support for a dental crown that attaches to an abutment above the gum line. Because the implant acts as a natural tooth root, you receive the same jaw bone stimulation as with existing teeth. As a result, you are left with a fully functional smile, no matter how many missing teeth you replace.
Deciding to improve the quality of your life with dental implants is a big decision. Deciding who to trust with the placement of them can be even bigger. At Traverse Dental, our doctors are professionally trained on how to place dental implants for a successful, permanent smile restoration. Dr. David Swan is uniquely qualified through training and involvement with the Northern Michigan Implant Study Club, International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
