Why Dental Implants Have Changed The Face (And Teeth) of Dentistry
A gap in your teeth is more than just embarrassing and unattractive. It can make talking and even eating more difficult. Dentures have traditionally been used to fill the gap, and while dentures still have their place, a more modern and permanent solution is the dental implant.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. The dental implant dentists at Comparative Dentistry and Implantology use the latest technology and training to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. But what are dental implants?

They replace the roots of the missing tooth, and over time, they fuse to the bone to create an incredibly strong bond. A dental crown identical to your existing teeth is then placed in the implant. This not only fills the gap, it helps with speech and eating just like any healthy tooth.
The procedure used to place the implant is safe and quick. First, a CT scan is made of your jaw to identity the best location for the implant. At Essex Comparative Dentistry, we have our own CT scanner that moves around you while you rest comfortable in one of our chairs. No need to waste time heading to another building! Next, one of our highly trained dental implant dentists will offer full sedation in addition to the traditional numbing, eliminating the dental implant pain normally associated with oral surgery.
The cost of dental implants vary between patients, but many health insurance plans now cover part or all of the cost depending on the plan and reason for losing the original tooth. Our staff will help you identify the cost before any appointments are made.
Dentures require special cleanings, but dental implants only require the same care you give your other teeth. Brushing, flossing, rinsing, and regular dental cleanings will ensure the implant and crown continue to look, feel, and function as any natural
