Dental Implants
Is a missing tooth making eating awkward, or do your dentures keep slipping? Compare implants, bridges and removable options before choosing a path.
What Can Dental Implants Help You Address?
One tooth is missing
Ask how an implant compares with a bridge or removable replacement for your teeth and bite.
Several teeth are missing
The number and position of missing teeth affect how a fixed or removable restoration may be supported.
Dentures feel unstable
If they slip while eating or speaking, an exam can help compare adjustment, replacement and implant-supported options.

Common Questions
Are implants suitable for everyone?
Suitability depends on oral health, bone support, medical factors and your treatment goals. Other replacement options may be more appropriate for some people.
Can implants replace several missing teeth?
They may support individual crowns, bridges or denture-based restorations. The design depends on the number of missing teeth and the available support.
How long will treatment take?
The stages depend on healing and whether preparatory treatment is needed. Dr. Hsieh will explain an individual timeline after assessment.
