If you are missing teeth and are looking for a solution, we consider you a candidate for dental implants. We invite you to schedule a convenient consultation with Dr. Sitaram or Dr. Hostalet to see! There are some important things to consider before you decide on this revolutionary, life-improving treatment. For example, implants are best placed after adolescence, when the teeth and jawbone are both fully developed. Additionally, implant placement can be more complicated for individuals with periodontal (gum) disease, bone loss in the jawbone, active diabetes, immune deficiencies, and for patients who use tobacco products.
