Choose Dental Implants in Shelbyville for a Great New Smile!

The idea of dental implants may scare a lot of people. Don't dental implants require painful surgery? Wouldn't a bridge or a denture be a cheaper, less painful procedure? Dr. Richard Pape in Shelbyville hears these questions nearly every day and he has all the answers you need!

Why choose dental implants over a bridge or a denture? A quality dentist like Dr. Pape 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 Shelbyville 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.

You've spent enough time postponing your best possible smile. Now's the time for dental implants and the perfect set of teeth!
