Doctor Elizabeth Kilpatrick Fox on dental implants
Elizabeth Fox: Dental implants are, they’re so much like your own teeth. It’s a wonderful option. They can be used on lower teeth, for upper missing teeth, all over your mouth, one tooth, several teeth, bridged together, left separately, so there isn’t an indication where you can’t replace it with a dental implant. The benefits are just so many. You look younger. You have a brighter smile. You can chew your food. You’re not taking as much medication because you’re getting nutrition from your food, and again, you don’t have to put up with glues and extra adhesives if you’re wearing dentures or partial dentures, and your other teeth aren’t affected because you don’t have other – they’re not hanging on to the other teeth, so they’re really, really wonderful. And people feel so great and confident after they get them done.
