Dental Implants

When searching for a method for tooth replacement, dental implants may be an option.

However, as a practice that emphasizes what’s best for the body, we typically do not recommend dental implants at this time.

Because of its metal nature and the fact that the body sees implants as a foreign body (as it should because it naturally does not occur in nature nor in our bodies),  it may be in the best interest to have a denture or bridge.

Even though tearing down neighboring teeth is not a good option when considering a bridge, it may be better to do that than forcing your body to accept a metal post that you may become sensitive to later on in life.

Just around the corner are ceramic or porcelain or zirconium implants.  They are relatively new.  For us, we’ll observe the progress of such dental implants.  But as of today, we’ll stay with the more conventional treatments such as bridges and biocompatible metal free partials.
