IMPLANTS

DENTAL  IMPLANTS

  • If you've lost a tooth, an implant can be the answer. Implants
    restore appearance and function without having to alter any
    of the adjacent teeth. An attractive crown can then be made
    to fit onto the implant structure to restore your smile.

  • Dental Implants are also an excellent option for people who
    have trouble controlling their dentures or partials. Implants
    provide the support for "snap on" dentures, which work very
    well to stabilize mobile, "floating" plates. A specialized type of
    connector is installed in the denture, which then snaps into
    place onto an implant attachment.
  • You need to be evaluated, to see if you are a good
    candidate for implant surgery.  You will need a complete
    series of films and a thorough, oral examination.

  • Successful candidates for implant treatment have good
    healing potential and stable health status.

  • You must have an adequate amount of bone present.

  • The implant sites must be kept clean and plaque-free.  
    Good home care is necessary for your implant's success.

"Mini" Implants

At this time, Dr. Curry  
does not  recommend
or place mini's or
midi's.

Current research has
shown the best
results are achieved
with conventional
endosteal implants.

Although the mini
implants cost less,
the stability, strength
and versatility of the
endosteal implants
make them a much
greater value.

Because of this, we
place only endosteals.

A DENTURE PATIENT
COMMENTS:
"I got implants with
little connectors, so
my dentures can
snap on securely. It
costs a little more...
but it made a big
difference. I can eat,
talk, and go on with
my normal life-- and
never worry about
my dentures sliding
around. I love my
new "snap ons"!
