If you are missing one or more teeth, you'll want replacements that are as natural as possible.  If dentures don't work for you, Dr. Grundy, General Dentist, may consider dental implants.  Unlike dentures, which can be removed, implants are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.

Generally, Dr. Grundy, General Dentist, feels you are a good candidate for implants if you have jawbone ridges that are in good shape and healthy oral tissues.  When the implant device is inserted into the jaw, a chemical  and mechanical bond is formed. The jawbone actually grows into the implant.

With implants, you get a perfect fit.
