At Metrolina Periodontics & Dental Implants, we regularly encounter patients intrigued by the opportunity dental implants present to improve one’s life. The technology associated with this modern restorative dental procedure is significant—and when implemented, allows a patient the ability to smile confidently once again and restore full function to the mouth.

When you are missing teeth, either due to natural reasons (such as the tooth never formed) or due to having them extracted for various reasons, it is likely you are looking for ways to replace your teeth.

When people experience tooth loss, they often turn to their periodontist or dentist for advice on the best way to replace missing teeth. One common way is through the use of dentures.

One of the most significant benefits of dental implants is that once healed they do not carry any dietary restrictions. However, the days and weeks after your surgery, you will be required to avoid certain types of foods to protect your new implants.
