Dental Implants - Menomonie & Eau Claire, WI

Suffering with missing teeth? You are not alone. American adults have an average of 25 teeth, from the total original number of 32 (NIH). While tooth loss may seem like an isolated issue, the prolonged absence of teeth can result in the following issues:

• Inability to chew food properly, leading to nutritional and digestive problems
• Difficulty speaking clearly
• Bone loss in the jaw and subsequent changes in the facial structure
• Movement of the surrounding teeth
• Embarrassment and a loss of confidence in your appearance

Although some people choose to replace missing teeth with dentures, this is a less-than-optimal solution. Dentures need to be relined regularly or they will become loose and ill-fitting. Dental implants offer a stable, long-term solution for tooth loss.

Our implant dentist in Menomonie, WI, can help. We can provide All-on-4 dental implants to replace a full set of teeth, or one or more dental implants to replace fewer missing teeth. Implant dentistry is the best solution for missing teeth.

Dental implants are often viewed as the better, but more expensive, dental care solution for missing teeth. When looking at long-term solutions, dental implants are actually more cost-effective than bridges and other treatments. That’s because dental implants and All-on-4 dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Dentures need relining over the years, and bridges may also need to be replaced. Neither dentures nor bridges address the issue of jaw atrophy, which doesn’t happen when you get dental implants. If you have any concerns about dental implants and the costs associated with it, we can work with you to find a solution. Our goal is to provide all our patients with complete dental care.

If you are edentulous, perhaps the most attractive option is instead a hybrid procedure - All-On-4® Dental Implants provide you with the stability of dental implants but the cost-effectiveness of dentures. How this works is simple: 4-6 dental implants are placed into the jaw, and a prosthetic is fixed into place using the implants for support.

Dentures come with many downsides. You run the risk of them falling out or moving around while performing many basic activities like eating food, talking with friends, or drinking beverages. By securing the prosthetic with implants, you can eliminate virtually all of the downsides to dentures! All-On-4® is a very popular and well-received procedure.
