Fix Missing Teeth - Pensacola, FL

Dental implants with Dr. Williams have become the leading choice among patients with missing teeth because they offer so much more than dentures alone can. Implants are designed to give patients a permanent, durable smile that looks and feels just like healthy natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which are awkward to wear and made from synthetic materials that can be irritating to the gums, implants are manufactured with decay resistant titanium that is body friendly. Dental implant posts are surgically placed in the jaw bone where the tooth roots used to be. This is important, as they engage the jaw bone with every chew to keep it strong and protected. Bone loss is a serious consequence of missing teeth and dentures only compound the problem. In fact, people who wear dentures often find their facial structure changing over time because they no longer have enough bone to support the muscles. Dentures also make it more difficult to chew certain foods, causing those who wear them to often skip on nutrition. Speaking with ease is also harder to accomplish when wearing dentures because of how often they slip and make sounds. If you are trying to decide between dental implants or conventional dentures in Pensacola, we can provide more information as to why implants are often the better choice.
