Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options. They preserve jawbone health by stimulating the bone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Implants don't rely on adjacent teeth for support, unlike bridges, thus protecting your natural dentition. They provide superior stability and comfort, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and speak with confidence. With a success rate of over 95%, dental implants are a highly effective and long-lasting solution for a complete and healthy smile. Call Dr. Yallorakis for more information! (423)-246-8211

Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak, and even affect your confidence. Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution for tooth replacement. An oral surgeon places a small, biocompatible titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached, restoring your smile and oral function. Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a wise investment in your oral health. Are implants right for you? Call us at (423)-246-8211 to find out!
