When Your Teeth Are Failing, IT’S TIME FOR REPLACEMENTS

Just as knees, hips, and other parts of the body may need replacing over the course of a person's life, your teeth are no different. Dental implants give you your freedom back. You'll enjoy the freedom to smile, to eat, and most importantly, the freedom to no longer experience tooth pain.

Every day we see the profound effect that failing teeth have on our patients' lives. Self-confidence is dramatically affected. This leaves the patient afraid to pursue intimate relationships, apply for job promotions, or even smile for a family photo. The systemic effects of chronically infected teeth take their toll on one's health. This is exacerbated by being relegated to a diet of processed foods because they simply can't chew healthy, whole foods.

For too many years, dentures were the only option for people with failing teeth, and this is a horrible option! A denture is more similar to using a wooden leg to replace a body part than it is to any modern medical procedure. Many patients try to do everything they possibly can to save their failing teeth, rather than be left with the inconvenience and discomfort of dentures.

Fortunately, patients no longer have to live like this. In recent years, technology and experience have grown to allow patients to predictably and safely replace their teeth. When your knees or hips are failing, you don’t have to live with a walker or wheelchair – you get them replaced! Similarly, when your teeth are failing you can have them replaced. The same titanium that is used in knee and hip replacements is also used as anchors in the bone for the placement of a beautiful bridge of new teeth. Most importantly, these new teeth are custom designed with your input and approval. The result is a smile that fits your face, your style, and your life. This process creates your Marquis Smile.

Millions of people are suffering from bad teeth. If this condition affects you or someone you care about, we would love the opportunity to sit down and discuss your options with you. Thank you again for taking the time to learn about what we are so passionate about.
