Replacing missing or damaged teeth is crucial to your general and oral health. If you have missing teeth due to injury, disease or decay, dental implants are a wonderful solution and should always be considered as an option. With advanced modern technology and a highly skilled Implantologist, literally all people are implant candidates.
An implant is an artificial root, which Dr. Clarke uses to replace the root of a missing tooth. An implant integrates with your existing bone and acts as an anchor for permanent restorations such as crowns and bridges; or for removable prosthetics as in over-dentures, which replace rocking, poor fitting dentures with ones that have a rock solid fit. Dental implants look and feel natural, produce a beautiful smile and allow you to function (eat and speak) as you did with your natural teeth. They truly change many people's lives dramatically. Both fixed and removable implant restorations produce natural, beautiful results.
If multiple teeth are missing, you do not need an implant for each missing tooth. In most cases, Dr. Clarke can replace several teeth with one implant. Through advances in implant technology, implants can often be placed, with teeth fitted to them, in one day. This is called "Teeth in a Day" or "Immediate Loading"; and there is little or no down time!
The key to the success and longevity of implants depends on the expertise of your Implantologist in placing and restoring them, along with regular exams, cleanings and your daily oral hygiene. Dr. Clarke will not compromise a successful result for a "quick fix". Each case is different depending on how much healthy bone is present. He will inform you what needs to be done for a result that will be successful long-term. That is what makes his success rate what it is and how he has built his reputation.
