Tired of your dentures? Try
implants! This option is a more attractive, and stronger, tooth replacment. Dr. Mollner uses his skills to match
your original tooth shape and color. For the replacement of missing teeth it is imperative that dental implants are considered.
Whether replacing a single tooth or several teeth, implants may provide a more natural appearance and feel. Unlike conventional
bridgework, implants can provide tooth replacement without the need to cut down adjacent teeth. The dental preparation of
healthy teeth can undermine their integrity and lead to further problems later on. In addition to preservation of the adjacent
teeth, the implant also prevents the loss of bone in the area of the missing tooth. Immediately following the loss of a tooth
the bone begins to melt away. Replacing the tooth with a implant restores function to the bone and prevents the resorption
of the bone. How the implant works: To replace a tooth with an implant, Dr. Mollner places the implant in the bone in the
position of the missing tooth root. This subsequently acts as an anchor to which a new crown is attached after the implant
has undergone an integration period. The final restoration is placed by Dr. Mollner four to six months after the placement
of initial dental implants.
