Missing front tooth before Dental Implants

After Dental Implants

Tooth loss can happen for a multitude of reasons including trauma, periodontal disease, injuries, and other oral health conditions. Dental implants are a wonderful option for any patient that is missing one tooth or all teeth. A dental implant is simply a new artificial root or permanent anchorage that is placed into your jaw to support a tooth/crown, multiple teeth/bridge or many other dental prosthetics like “snap-on” dentures to “full arch fixed/permanent teeth”. Using the latest advances in his field, Dental Implants Specialist Dr. Augustine helps patients restore their mouth to optimal oral health and function and an aesthetic outcome to smile about.

As a Periodontist, Dr. Augustine has completed a formal specialty residency and received extensive training beyond Dental School. He was well trained in the field of Periodontal and Implant Surgery/Implant Dentistry. He has placed more than 10,000 implants since opening his practice in Phoenix in 2002. Implants offer our patients greater freedom through many permanent treatment options, which not only increases function and health but also increases self-confidence. They are stronger and more natural looking than ever. An implant consultation with Dr. Augustine will tell you if you are a candidate for a dental implant option.
