TOOTH LOSS IS NOT AS UNCOMMON AS YOU MIGHT THINK, and it can be caused by anything from wear and tear, to trauma or disease. No matter what actually causes your teeth to fall out, oral discomfort and a lack of confidence are typical results. Dr. Stiles tries his absolute best to prevent permanent tooth loss, but sometimes there’s nothing we can do. Don’t let that discourage you though! We can help. Today’s technologies offer many beautiful and highly functional solutions, and Dr. Stiles is extremely qualified to provide them. In fact, Dr. Stiles has been performing a full range of implant dentistry for more than 25 years. Though implant dentistry is not new, it has come a long way since it’s emergence in the 1950s. Initial dental implant progress came when scientists learned how to fuse human bones with titanium, making natural bone support possible. To put it simply, dental implants are first inserted within the gum line and then given 3–6 months healing time to ensure complete and proper fusion with the bone. After the implants have fully healed, the custom bridge, crown, or dentures can be attached. This solution is much stronger and long lasting than traditional dentures, giving you the confident smile you desire. Well, what are you waiting for? Don’t let your missing teeth hold you back any longer. Dental implants begin with a consultation with Dr. Stiles so that he may answer any questions you may have and create a custom-tailored plan that best fits your needs.
