Dental Implants

As a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantology, Dr. Jim Eggleston has had extensive training by the world foremost dental implant instructors. He has successfully placed and restored hundreds of implants with cosmetics in mind.

Dental Implants can be used to replace a single tooth or to replace all of your teeth. For those who are wearing partial or full dentures other options include replacing their removable prosthesis with either an implant bridge or an implant based over-denture.

Dental implants are designed to work and perform just like a natural tooth. A titanium metal post is surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as an anchor for the final restoration. This post also increases the bone stimulation in the jawbone and helps prevent bone atrophy. Once the post is secure in the jawbone the final restoration phase begins. By using a single implant crown or preparing the posts to support an over denture, you will soon redevelop proper function and strength to your bite and chewing abilities.

Along with the benefits to your oral health, dental implants also benefit your nutritional, psychological, and intestinal health and can increase the life span up to 10 years for someone who is in full dentures. For many, permanent tooth replacement has also given them back their self esteem, confidence and social life.

We perform complete implant services right here in our own office. From the initial placement to the final restoration, we will care for each phase. There will be no need to see different doctors for one procedure. In most cases, a local anesthetic is use for the implant procedures, however, depending on the clients request and comfort level we do have other forms of sedation available.
