You can get dental implants in Yarmouth, Maine to restore your smile
Are missing teeth ruining the aesthetic appeal of your smile? You are not alone – nearly 70 percent of adults who are 35 to 44 years old have lost one or more teeth. Lost teeth are more than a cosmetic issue: having missing teeth can make it hard to eat and speak clearly, and can even lead to more tooth loss and other health issues.
Fortunately, our dentist in Yarmouth can provide dental implants to permanently restore your smile.
Dental implants provide a wide variety of benefits, such as:
Why Are Dental Implants So Popular?
Dental implants are gaining in popularity. In fact, more than half a million people will get dental implants this year, and that number will likely rise over the next few years. You might be surprised to learn that more than 3 million people already have dental implants. This means dental are quickly becoming the most popular approach to replacing missing teeth.
Unlike dentures that you’ll need to replace every 7 to 15 years, dental implants are a permanent solution to your missing teeth. This is because dental implants feature a metal post that your dentist places into your jawbone – your bone fuses with the metal post to create a sturdy, permanent anchor that holds a realistic-looking crown. This post never needs replacement, which means your dental implants will last you a lifetime.
Because dental implants are permanent, they require a one-time investment that is greater than for dentures or dental bridges, but never need replacing. Dental implants also provide a much greater return over the life of your smile, in that they look and feel like a million bucks.
Did we mention that dental implants look great? We custom-shape and custom-shade your dental implants so that they fit in perfectly with your existing smile. When it comes to beauty, strength and function, they are exactly like your natural teeth – only better.
Your natural teeth are vulnerable to tooth decay and cavities, which can cause significant oral health problems. Made from modern materials, dental implants never get cavities or tooth decay. While you’ll still need to brush and floss to maintain healthy gums, you’ll find that taking care of your dental implants is just as easy as taking care of your natural teeth.
What’s more, placing dental implants does not affect your other teeth like dental bridges do. To make room for dental bridges, your dentist must remove a small amount of enamel from the two teeth next to the missing tooth; these reduced teeth on each side of the gap will serve as the abutment support for the dental bridge. Reducing teeth can affect your long-term oral health; dental implants do not require this step.
Dental implants are your cost-effective, long-lasting, and attractive solution to your missing teeth. If you want to restore your smile after missing one or more teeth, please visit us for a complimentary consultation for dental implants.

Experience the most secure and stable dentures possible
If you have dentures, you may already know how they slip and slide – or even fall completely out – when you eat, talk, or laugh. If you have missing teeth, you may be considering dentures but have heard how unstable they can be. You may be thrilled to know that you can have dentures that look natural and stay in place with implant-secured dentures.
Dentures have been the go-to solution for missing teeth for generations. While they work relatively well, dentures sit on top of your gums, which means they can slide around. Implant-secured dentures are different from regular dentures in that the dentures snap onto metal posts that have been surgically implanted into your jaw to create amazing stability and natural function.
Dental implants feature a metal post surgically implanted into your jaw. The metal post fuses with your jawbone to create a sturdy anchor, onto which you snap a set of dentures onto. The result is stable dentures that look fantastic.
Implant-supported dentures provide a wide variety of benefits, such as:
