Dental implants help you avoid discomfort and complications while restoring your smile and bite at the same time.

The Hidden Costs of Delaying Treatment
Missing teeth are not just a cosmetic problem. Teeth and tooth roots play an important role in telling your body to replenish the bone in your jaw. Without that stimulation, you will almost immediately start to lose bone. As the jawbone deteriorates, you may face a cascade of new problems:
- More tooth loss as your jawbone recedes
- Uneven wear as teeth shift and your bite changes
- Aging facial features as your jawbone shrinks and your cheeks lose their underlying support
Dental Implants Offer the Support You Need for Years to Come
Dental Implants Can Restore Any Number of Missing Teeth Types of Implant-Supported Restorations
Dental implants are small posts that are inserted into the jaw to replace tooth roots. They are designed to hold a variety of dental restorations that look like natural teeth and restore your ability to chew. For the best results, Dr. Starr uses high-quality, medical-grade titanium dental implants from Nobel Biocare™, a leader in implant dentistry and implant materials. One or multiple implants can be arranged to overcome a variety of dental problems:
When you are missing one tooth, all you will need is one implant to create the natural-looking smile you've been missing.
When you are missing several teeth in a row, two dental implants can support a bridge to fill the gap without altering nearby teeth.
If you are missing an entire arch of teeth, top or bottom, multiple dental implants can be placed to support a fixed denture.
Implant-supported overdentures are removable like traditional dentures. However, they snap onto implants, making them more stable and secure.
Has Bone Loss Prevented You from Getting Implant-Supported Dentures? All-on-4 May Be the Solution
Have you been told that you lack enough bone density to qualify for implant-supported dentures? A special dental implant technique known as All-on-4® could change that.
Dental implants placed using the All-on-4 technique do not require as much bone density as traditional implant-supported dentures. And, surprisingly, the procedure is both faster and more affordable for most patients.
All-on-4 is an advanced dentistry technique where implants are placed at an angle, which allows them to take advantage of the remaining bone using just four implants. Fewer implants make the procedure less invasive and more cost-effective than other techniques.
In most cases, we can place your restoration on the same day so you can start smiling immediately.
