If you\u2019d like to get the closest thing to your natural teeth in look and function, call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 to schedule a consultation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>.<br \/>\nWhether you visit us at our North Naples, FL dentist office or our Fort Myers, FL dentist office, we can place and restore dental implants with a variety of restoration options, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dental-crowns-bridges.html\">Dental crowns<\/a>, which give you back individual teeth that have been lost or are damaged beyond repair<\/li>\n<li>Fixed dental bridges, which span the hole in your smile left by multiple, adjacent missing teeth<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dentures.html\">Dentures<\/a>, which replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw or both for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/dental-implants.html\">full-mouth reconstruction<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with standard-sized dental implants, we also offer mini dental implants that work in the same way but are much smaller. If you\u2019ve ever been told by another dentist that your jawbone is not strong, thick, or dense enough for dental implants, visit us to see if mini dental implants could work for you!<br \/>\nCompared to other treatments for replacing teeth, dental implants offer many perks, because they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strong: you can regain the majority of your natural chewing power \u2013 as much as 90 percent<\/li>\n<li>Convincing: your replacement teeth will be indistinguishable from your natural chompers in look, function, and feel<\/li>\n<li>Long-lasting: if you care for your dental implants properly, they can last many years or even the rest of your life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unlike traditional dental bridges, dental implants can also be placed without requiring any preparation of healthy teeth that you want to keep.<br \/>\nAnd because dental implants literally fuse with your jawbone, they provide a sturdy foundation for your replacement teeth. This process, known as \u201cosseointegration,\u201d also helps to prevent jawbone deterioration, which will help you maintain your youthful look and avoid a \u201csunken in\u201d appearance that often occurs with traditional dentures.<br \/>\nDr. Hoop has over two and a half decades of providing dental implants, so you can rest assured that we\u2019ll provide a great service if you want dental implants!<\/p>\n<h2>Learn About The Accident That Gave Us Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>Dental implants are such a huge part of modern dentistry that it\u2019s easy to assume they came as a result of careful experimentation and intentional inquiry.<br \/>\nWell, to be fair, the discovery that led to dental implants did result from rigorous scientific experimentation, but they were an unintentional result of an unrelated investigation.<br \/>\nIn 1952, a Swedish man named Dr. Per-Ingvar Br\u00e5nemark and his team of researchers were conducting tests to examine the effect that blood flow has on bone healing. In order to observe this process, they encased small optical devices in titanium, then inserted these instruments into the leg bones of rabbits.<br \/>\nWhen the time came to remove these devices from the rabbits\u2019 legs and see what had occurred, Dr. Br\u00e5nemark and his team found that the leg bone had actually healed around the titanium.<br \/>\nRather than being frustrated by this development, Dr. Br\u00e5nemark was curious about what had occurred and decided to investigate further. Not only did he realize that titanium was biocompatible (safe for insertion in living organisms), he also found that this phenomenon of bone healing around titanium occurred in humans as well.<br \/>\nIn the mid-1960\u2019s, Dr. Br\u00e5nemark placed four dental implants and attached a full arch of replacement teeth in a patient that had no teeth in his lower jaw. The operation was so successful that the man kept his dental implant restorations for four decades until he passed away.<br \/>\nNeedless to say, dental implants have come a long way in the half-century or so since Dr. Br\u00e5nemark did his first procedure, but the principle generally remains the same.<br \/>\nWe are so confident that you will be pleased with our dental implants options that we provide free consultations. We\u2019ll answer any questions you have and help you understand the options that you can consider.<br \/>\nIf you do decide to get dental implants, we\u2019ll thoroughly explain the process so you will know precisely what to expect.<br \/>\nTo make the procedure as comfortable as possible, we provide various amenities to relax you. We even offer dental sedation options to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">relieve dental anxiety<\/a> if you wish.<br \/>\nFind out if dental implants are a good solution for your dental troubles by calling George A.
