Everyone who has missing teeth risks suffering from physical hardships. You should know that these experiences are not uncommon. In fact, a large percentage of the U.S. population is missing all teeth by age 65.¹
Are you facing losing most or all of your natural teeth and are you concerned about a change in your appearance? Do you know someone who is already missing teeth and struggles to eat, speak and otherwise socialize with an ill-fitting partial or denture?
What Can Be Done To Help Those With Missing Teeth?
Whether a person has already lost teeth or might lose teeth in the future, dental implants may offer an immediate, long-term solution. Dental implants may allow you to avoid the negative emotions that having missing teeth can sometimes cause.
It is now possible for many patients to have their missing teeth replaced the same day as their teeth are removed or otherwise lost, through a procedure called DIEM™. DIEM allows you to return home the same day as the procedure with replacement teeth that look and function most like natural teeth.
