Implants

Dental implants are titanium alloy cylinders, which are surgically placed in the bony areas left by missing teeth. During the years prior to the mid eighties, various initial implant techniques were used with mixed results. Several breakthroughs brought dental implants to the forefront of routine usage in the hands of Dentists skilled in their application. Dr. Taylor has many years of continuing education and hands on experience, with all aspects of implant usage. He works with a team of Oral Surgeons uniquely skilled in their placement. Implants offer the option of either single or multiple platforms on which we place porcelain restorations, which function much like the original teeth they replace. The are very esthetic, and extremely stable. Dr. Taylor also uses implants under unstable partials and dentures to provide stability and relief for those who suffer with loose and ill fitting teeth. Many patients are not good candidates for implants because of certain medical conditions and harmful habits. Dr. Taylor will be happy to discuss your particular situation and needs to determine if implants are right for you.
