A Solution for Missing Teeth and Loose Dentures

Perhaps you’re missing a tooth, and chewing is difficult and laborious. This could also make you uncomfortable with your smile, and it’s possible that even talking and laughing are a challenge. If you’re a denture wearer, a loose denture could pose similar problems. And in some instances, it may be necessary to secure and improve the fit of your dentures. Fortunately, dental implants are a viable solution to any of these problems.

A dental implant is a small screw made of titanium, a metal our bodies easily accept. Implants offer firmer foundations by replacing not just the tooth crown, but also the root itself. The dental implant is inserted into the bone of the jaw, and over time the jawbone integrates with the implant surface, firmly anchoring it.

If you’re looking for a Columbus dentist who can place and restore dental implants, Dr. Bill Thompson can help. He has been providing this service in his Grandview Heights dental office for 15 years. And, he can perform the dental implant procedure in his dental office, saving you money and time spent traveling to a different location to see a specialist.
