Dental Implants

If one or more of your teeth are missing, there are a number of ways to replace them. Dental implants may be an alternative to bridges, partials, or complete dentures. A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal that is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is attached to the implant. The implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place. Dental implants are comfortable and look like natural teeth. For more information about dental implants at our Victoria office, or to book an appointment, give us a call today.

Avoid Denture DIY

Trying to adjust or repair your denture yourself can easily cause irreparable and permanent damage and negatively affect how they fit. If you break your denture, if a tooth falls out, if you notice they’re cracked, or if they’re simply uncomfortable and you’re feeling like they need an adjustment, a professional denturist can help. Denturists will ensure that any repairs are completed properly, eliminating any problems that could occur if you try to fix your dentures yourself. Most adjustments can be made while you wait, and today’s modern technology means that many repairs can be completed within an hour.
