Let your first interaction with them be an full smile with healthy teeth. Having a mouth of healthy teeth can also be personally beneficial. You can enjoy life more when you're confident in your appearance, and that includes a beautiful smile.

Permanent implant dentures can replace removable dentures to help you speak more clearly and show a flashier smile.

Permanent implant dentures can help you maintain a more nutritious diet because you can eat some of the foods that you avoid with dentures. For example, you may be avoiding steak, popcorn, sticky foods, and crunchy foods, such as apples and carrots. Implants are permanent and feel just like your natural teeth. Plus, you don't ever need to take them out in order to clean them.

How the Process Works

When you decide dental implants are right for you, Dr. Connie Jacobson will guide you through the procedure from the beginning to the beautiful end. She acts as the "quarterback" of the dental implant process by leading your care and coordinating the proper steps with your oral surgeon. The oral surgeon inserts an implant into the bone below your gum, creating a permanent solution.

After your surgery, the process of osseointegration begins and your bone grows around the post of the implant. With regular check ups, Dr. Jacobson ensures that everything is going accordingly and that the following months are comfortable for you.
