How can I maintain my smile as I age?
Routine visits to your Dentist are of great importance. By visiting the Dentist every 6 months for a thorough examination and clean, it will enable us to detect any dental problems early and limit the extent of the problem. It is also essential to brush at least twice each day (after breakfast and dinner) and floss once a day. This will help to prevent decay and gum disease. Speak with our team during your next visit, for more information on preventive care and hygiene.

Are Dental Implants expensive?
In terms of cost, each case is different and it is determined upon your individual needs. Your age as well as the quality and quantity of bone in the Implant site, are all assessed.
Though at first glance Dental Implants may seem expensive, they offer a more permanent and natural looking solution to other replacement options. They can last a lifetime if they are properly fitted and cared for.

Why have Dental Implants become so popular?
As our life span increases, the need for some type of permanent dental replacement system becomes very important to our overall health. Dentures and removable bridges are loose and unstable; causing many problems for wearers. Dental Implants provide patients with both functional and aesthetic benefits and can dramatically increase a patient's quality of life.
