Dental Implants: A Long Term Solution to Tooth Loss

Recently the New York Times published an article discussing the long term benefits of dental implants over bridges for tooth replacement. Check out the dental implants article on nytimes.com.

Keep in mind that although implants can be a very effective solution to tooth loss, the process is a more involved one, and therefore need to be completed in stages.

We at Smiles by Bond offer complete mouth restorations with dental implants, and the entire process can take anywhere from six months to a year. While implants are a great long term solution for many patients, those with serious gum or jawbone deficiencies, osteoporosis, or uncontrolled diabetes may not be able to support a long-term implant.

Call us today at 206-734-3285 and schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Bond to discuss your implant options. You can also visit our web site for more information about dental implants and other general and cosmetic dentistry options.
