Implant Dentistry
If you lost your teeth a decade ago, a dentist would have restored
your smile with bridges, removable partials, or dentures.
Significant advances in dental technology, however, have changed the
way dentists replace missing teeth. These days, Dr. Ruff can restore
your smile with dental implants.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed in your jawbone. Acting as a substitute for tooth roots, implants permanently anchor a dental appliance in your mouth. With dental implants, you can talk, eat, and laugh as you did with your natural teeth. More importantly, the implants can last a lifetime if you schedule regular check-ups and maintain good dental hygiene.
Dr. Ruff is extensively skilled and knowledgeable about dental implants. She is a graduate of the Maxicourse in Oral Implantology and completed over 300 hours of advanced educational training in dental implants.
It is possible to replace missing teeth with dental implants. Once they are placed in your jaw, the crowns are cemented permanently to the implants. One advantage of implant supported crowns versus bridges is that prepping of adjacent natural teeth is not necessary. Dental implants are the most technologically advanced method of restoring your original smile.
Implant Supported Dentures/Partials
Denture-wearers know that even the best fitting dentures can slip. With implant supported dentures, your denture feels secure and is held firmly in place, enabling you to eat comfortably and laugh and talk with confidence.
If you think dental implants are right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ruff.
