Description
Dental implants are far and away the best solution for missing teeth. They replace them from root to crown to preserve your oral health, complete your smile, and make chewing and speaking much easier. At Lande Cosmetic, Implant, and Family Dentistry in Carmel, IN, Dr. Gerry Lande offers implant-supported restorations for all degrees of tooth loss.

An implant, by definition,
[00:00:06.250]
is an artificial replacement
for a natural tooth root.
[00:00:11.386]
The implant goes in the bone where
the roots of the tooth used to be.
[00:00:15.810]
Once that's established,
you can add things on top of that,
[00:00:21.292]
you can be a post that you put a crown on,
that it makes up for an individual tooth.
[00:00:27.850]
You could be putting multiple implants
in somebody who has no teeth,
[00:00:33.210]
and on top of that, you could put snaps
so that you can snap a denture.
[00:00:38.130]
It may be that you don't
want to snap a denture in.
[00:00:40.844]
You want to have teeth that fit
just like your old ones.
[00:00:43.680]
They stay in your mouth.
[00:00:45.050]
They don't come out.
[00:00:46.271]
You can put in implants
[00:00:48.650]
and have a denture that actually screws
into the implants and doesn't come out
[00:00:55.450]
and go about your day as if
you had never lost your teeth.
