Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts (bridges and dentures). Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness.

We recently interviewed some of our dental implant patients about how they liked there new implants compared to the option of a dental bridge. No surprise, they all loved them and found dental implants to be preferable to a dental bridge.

Lyona P.

• How does she like her implants? Love 'em!
• Better or worse than a bridge? Much better, they feel like real teeth!
• Was the procedure difficult? Because Dr. Wagner is so caring it wasn't that bad.
• Would you do it again? Yes.
• Are they comfortable? Very comfortable, bite is perfect!

Alberta D.

• How secure are your dentures with and without your implants? Definitely better with the implants. Without the implants I couldn't bite into anything and I hated having them in. After the implants were placed I could eat and they were more comfortable.
• Are they comfortable? As comfortable as they can be.
• Are you glad you had the implants placed? Oh yeah!
• Would you do it again if the need arose? Yeah, absolutely.
