Dental Implants
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
What are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth. Dental implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
Are You Ready to Restore Your Smile?

The Surgical Procedure
First, implants are placed within your jawbone. Once they are placed we now wait only 6-8 weeks to move forward with the crown placement and in many cases we can place the implant the same day we remove a tooth. Dr. Pulver has lectured and taught on the immediate implant placement. Inquire if you may be a candidate for this efficient and successful treatment. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.
Why Dental Implants?
Once you learn about dental implants, you finally realize there is a way to improve you life. When you lose several teeth – whether it’s a new situation or something you have lived with for years – chances are you have never become fully accustomed to losing such a vital part of yourself. Dental implants can be your doorway to renewed self-confidence and peace of mind. A Swedish scientist and orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark, developed this concept for oral rehabilitation more than 35 years ago. With his pioneering research, Dr. Branemark opened the door to a lifetime of renewed comfort and self-confidence for millions of individuals facing the frustration and embarrassment of tooth loss.
Am I A Candidate For Implants?
If you have a tooth removed from tooth number 2 to 31 you are often a candidate for an immediate implant placement. What better time to have it placed than the moment your tooth is removed. Please inquire to see if you may be a candidate for this innovative and effective treatment to get it all done at once.

I have been trying for so long to get my wisdom teeth pulled.. but others would take one look at my X-rays and refer me to the next for only the next to refer me to the next to the point I was seriously ready to give up on ever having a chance to one day having normal smile.. Being let down so many times is so frustrating and discouraging..I felt relieved after you looked in my mouth and afterwards explained what you were about to do next....
