812-853-3313Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, and Fickas are advocates of dental implants.  Dental implants are replacements for any loss of a tooth or teeth. Family Dentistry would like to share the many ADVANTAGES of having a dental implant instead of not having a tooth, having dentures, or other bridge options.  1. First of all, the appearance of a dental implant looks and feels like a real tooth. 2. Your speech is improved because with a denture or a loose appliance in the mouth slurring can occur. A dental implant is a fixed structure in your mouth so your speech is not impaired. 3. Implants are comfortable since they are part of your mouth.  A loose denture or appliance in your mouth is not comfortable in everyday life. 4. Eating is improved with a dental implant because of the stable structure in the mouth. Eating with a denture is not always the easiest when eating a variety of food. 5. Implants allow for your smile to be improved because of the natural looking tooth in your mouth. When you have a better smile, your self esteem and your confidence is better.      6. Oral health is improved with dental implants because the implants are a better option to protect all of the teeth around the implant. When using a crown or bridge, the adjacent teeth can be jeopardized in maintaining their stability because of the loss of a tooth or the adjustment to the surrounding teeth to accommodate the bridge.  7. Dental implants can last a lifetime. With proper routine dental care for your teeth, dental implants can last a long time. Please contact Family Dentistry at 812-853-3313 for further information for dental implants.
