Dental Implants
Dental Implants are used to replace missing teeth, and can serve as a foundation for individual teeth, bridges, and dentures.
 The three basic components of most dental implants are: the "fixture" which is surgically implanted into supporting bone, the "abutment" which acts as a connector between the fixture and the final restoration, and the "final restoration" which may be a single crown, a bridge, or a denture.
- No preparation of adjacent teeth is required
- They can preserve the bone, maintaining the integrity of the facial structure
- They allow for superior long-term aesthetics
- They are the closest replacement possible to natural teeth
- They will restore lost lip support and minimize wrinkles around the mouth
- They eliminate the pain of ill-fitting dentures
- They are long lasting and strong
Dr. Hodges has extensive training in implant therapy and can restore most cases and perform many surgeries right in the office. We have a great network of surgeons if more complicated surgeries or IV sedation are required.
