How Dental Implants Work
The implant directly replaces a lost tooth root. After the implant is placed in the jaw, your dentist will attach an abutment device that will serve as the connection point between your implant and your replacement tooth.
I've Lived with Missing Teeth for Years Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can negatively affect your quality of life in many ways. Dental implants an resolve many of these problems:
Healthier-Looking Smile
When you lose teeth to injury, decay, or infection, they leave visible gaps in your smile. Dental implants can provide the ultimate support to replacement teeth, completing your smile and boosting your self-esteem.
Improves Jawbone Health
Missing teeth can cause your jaw to shrink and weaken. Your jawbone actually fuses with an implant after placement, and the stimulation provided by the implant encourages the growth of strong, healthy bone tissue.
More Youthful Appearance
Missing teeth and shrinking jawbone tissue can give your face an aged look. Implant-supported restorations can maintain your facial features so you don't look aged beyond your years.
Superior Denture Support
Traditional dentures can slip or fall out when you eat or speak. Implant-supported dentures stay put, allowing you to enjoy meals and conversations without fear of embarrassment.
Clearer Speech
Your tongue and teeth work together to produce certain sounds. Without stable teeth, your speech can become slurred, mumbled, or garbled. Implants help your restorations contribute to enunciation so you can speak clearly and confidently.
Long-Lasting Investment
With proper brushing and flossing, implants from Norris Dental can last a lifetime, while our top-grade replacement teeth can last for more than a decade.

After my Dentist of 13 years retired I was referred to Dr. Norris through a friend. The initial exam with Dr. Norris was the most comprehensive dental exam I have ever had...The other staff at his office are equally pleasant and professional. The hour and a half drive into his office is well worth the trip!
