Dental Implants
Dental implants have become our favored way to replace missing teeth. Acting as a substitute tooth root, implants bond with the bone to form a stable foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The dental implant actually helps preserve the bone by providing the stimulation that was previously provided by the natural tooth roots. This helps maintain the integrity of facial structures.
There are numerous advantages of dental implant treatment over other traditional treatment options. For instance, it is not necessary to grind down the adjacent teeth for a bridge, or secure a partial denture to them with clasps that can eventually loosen the natural teeth. By utilizing dental implants, people who are missing teeth may be spared the many problems associated with traditional false teeth.

Dr. Hollar works very closely with local specialists who surgically place the implants. She then places the permanent restorations over the implants, which are custom made in our in-house laboratory. The porcelain crowns over implants carry the same world-class ten-year warranty as our other porcelain work.
