\"\"FROM COMMON THINGS LIKE WEAR AND TEAR, TO TRAUMA OR DISEASE,<\/strong> <\/strong>some adults have experienced permanent tooth loss. <\/em><\/strong>Regardless of the level of loss, oral discomfort and\/or a lack of confidence are the common results. Of course, permanent tooth loss is something <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a>Dr. Stanleigh<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/strong> and our team do their best to prevent. However, it isn\u2019t always possible. The good news is, there are some beautiful and highly functional solutions available at <\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a>our practice<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/strong> Implant dentistry<\/a> <\/strong>is not new,<\/em> although from its original origins in the 50\u2019s it has come a long way<\/strong>. Initial discoveries came when scientists learned how to fuse bones with titanium, making natural bone support possible. Today, this original discovery is used by <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a>Dr. Stanleigh<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong>to copy the root and tooth system that your mouth naturally has. \"\" Implants are first placed within the gum line. Then, they are given 3\u20136 months healing time to ensure complete and proper fusion.<\/em> After the implants have healed, the custom crown, bridge, or dentures can be placed. After this placement (unlike traditional dentures or bridges) the solution is much stronger and long lasting, giving you the confident smile you desire. As with most dental procedures, dental implants\u00a0begin with a consultation<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>with Dr. Stanleigh<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> to help with any questions you may have and give us a chance to create a custom-tailored plan that best meets your needs. <\/p>\n

Here is a simple illustration of how dental implants work:<\/h3>\n
