DENTAL IMPLANTS IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE

A fixed prosthesis (removable only by the doctor) is attached to four or more implants by way of titanium framework. It is intended for patients desiring maximum stability, esthetics and function.

Fixed Implant Denture

A low-cost removable denture is anchored by a simple and effective O-ring retention system. It is intended for patients who do not receive conventional implants due to medical, anatomical, or financial reasons.

Mini Implant Overdenture

A removable denture is anchored to two or more implants by way of titanium bar or attachments. It is intended for patients with anatomical limitations or those seeking an affordable alternative to a fixed prosthesis.

Single Implant

Many people choose dental implants to replace a single tooth, several teeth or to support a full set of dentures.

Replacing permanent teeth can have a positive effect on our quality of life. Having the ability to chew, being able to smile

and speaking are made easier with a full set of teeth. One of the biggest advances in Dentistry which has occurred during the past 40 years is the development and use of dental

implants. Dental implants are titanium posts thatreplace the root portion of missing natural teeth.

Dental implants may be for you if you:• are self-conscious because you have missing teeth• wear dentures that are uncomfortable for you• are unsatisfied with removable partial dentures• want to maintain the level of bone in your jaw after tooth extraction• Have the inability to chew food adequately

Dental Implants fuse with the jawbone offering firm support to man-made teeth. Dentures, bridges and single teeth attached to implants, will not slip or shift in your mouth. This is a very important benefit when eating or speaking. This secure fit also helps man made teeth feel more natural than typical bridges or dentures. Dental implants are a great value because they can last a lifetime with good care.

Dr. Reardon and staff at Yankton Dental Clinic are committed to helping patients restore their smiles. Dental implants are the ideal solution for almost anyone who wants to replace missing teeth. If you are missing teeth and ready for a new smile, we encourage you to call and schedule your free dental implant consultation. (605)668-CARE:)2273.
