Dental Implants in Gulf Shores: When a Bridge or a Denture Just Isn't Enough

Does the idea of getting dental implants have you covering your mouth and heading for the hills? Douglas Hightower, Douglas W. Hightower, D.D.S. in Gulf Shores wants to reassure you that dental implants are a safe, smart alternative to a bridge or a denture. Often, in the long run, dental implants can be more comfortable and less problematic than any other choice!

Why choose dental implants over a bridge or a denture? A quality dentist like Dr. Hightower will explain that dental implants aren't the major dental surgery you might fear, nor are they as expensive as you might think. Dental implants are surgically placed metal anchors in your jaw bone that are connected to natural-looking crowns. They not only look real, they feel real in your mouth and they lead to fewer chewing problems than other alternatives.

Many people in the Gulf Shores area are good candidates for dental implants. You must have healthy oral tissues and good, strong jawbone ridges to support the metal anchors that will support the implant crown. Once the anchor is placed in the jawbone, a chemical and mechanical bond forms as the jawbone actually grows into the implant.

Why settle for a bridge or a denture when dental implants are the permanent, more comfortable way to get the perfect set of teeth? Just address any dental implants questions to Dr. Douglas Hightower! Call Douglas W. Hightower, D.D.S. or fill out the online form to request a consultation in our Gulf Shores office today!

Rather than a bridge or denture, why not consider dental implants from Dr. Hightower? Tooth implants are a permanent, comfortable alternative to other temporary and inconvenient measures to treat tooth loss or decay!
