Losing a tooth can feel like a permanent disfigurement. Even losing the less noticeable teeth in the back of the mouth can cause a notable hollowing in the cheeks. Luckily, no one has to live with missing teeth. At Gerts Sterling Dentistry we offer cutting-edge dental implants that look and feel like real teeth. As a result, we can enable you to take back control of your life.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that are implanted into the bone of the jaw. After a few months, the jaw heals around the implant and it becomes indistinguishable from the rest of the teeth. When installed properly, you may even forget they’re there. For anyone with missing or severely damaged teeth, dental implants represent an opportunity to turn back the clock.

Why Not Bridges?
The primary advantage of dental implants over dental bridges is that the prosthetic does not require support from adjacent teeth. This reduces the stress of the procedure on surrounding teeth and increases their ability to function properly.

Dental implants are life-altering. When implanted correctly they are completely seamless with the rest of the teeth. Less-skilled dentists may instead create ill-fitting implants that cause permanent damage to the jaw. You can avoid such a fate. At Gerts Sterling we have the experience to create beautiful, functional, flawless dental implants.
