Dental Implants

Dental Implants: Replacement Teeth That Look and Feel Like Your Own

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a periodontist or oral surgeon places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

Dental Benefits of Xylitol

The Xylitol difference for teeth

   Tooth decay happens when bacteria in your mouth consume the sugars we eat. When you eat food containing ordinary sugar (sucrose), it gives bacteria on your teeth energy, allowing them to multiply and start making acids that can eat away the enamel on the teeth. This "acid attack" causes tooth decay and cavities to begin to form.
Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from the fibrous parts of plants. It does not break down like sugar and can help keep a neutral pH level in the mouth.

Straight Teeth = Healthy Mouth

Did you know that 80% of americans have some form of periodontal (gum) disease!
periodontal disease has been linked to many other diseases as a contributing factor including:

Diabetes
Heart Disease
Low birth weight babies
Stroke

and many more. Crowded teeth can lead to difficulty cleaning teeth which then leads a risk of increased plaque and bacteria build-up. This build up can lead to Periodontal Issues and Heart disease which can lead to Gum tissue recession. This loss of healthy gum tissue increases the potential of bone loss & tooth mobility or even loss of teeth which all equal an unhealthy mouth.
