In recent years, technological advances in dentistry have made implants easier to place and increased the number of people eligible for the procedure. Dr. Chow is a qualified implant dentist with skills, training, and experience you can trust. There are several qualifying factors, but the easiest way to ensure that dental implants are an ideal restoration option for you is to schedule a consultation with her.
Dental implants may be the right solution for you, if:
You want to regain confidence in your smile.
When you suffer from tooth loss, smiling can feel embarrassing and your self-esteem can decline. A smile restored with dental implants is natural-looking and repairs function so effectively that it will rejuvenate your confidence. This tooth-like restoration will boost your self-esteem and make smiling exciting again.
You want to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
A huge challenge with missing teeth is eating meals that don’t cause pain or further decay. Food can become trapped in the spaces in your smile and increase the risk of infection. Tooth replacement is a great way to restore functionality and health to your smile, and dental implants are the best replacement option today.
You want to be more successful.
Imagine getting your dream job or achieving your social goals. With dental implants, your smile will be perfectly blended and stunning, and you’ll want to show it off. Smiling positively impacts the way people perceive you, meaning the more you smile, the more likely you are to be viewed as successful, thus landing you the job or first impression.
You’re seeking a permanent, convenient tooth replacement.
One of the best benefits of dental implants is that they never have to come out once placed. They’ll become part of your charming smile forever. There’s no need to stress about extra maintenance or if they’ll slide or fall out. Once your customized dental implant is in, you can stop worrying about the gaps in your smile and start enjoying all the benefits of a full and flawless set of pearly whites.
You want better health for your smile and body as a whole.
Dental implants are placed into your jawbone, where they won’t just look good—they will boost your jawbone density as well. That means that while you’re enjoying the aesthetic and functional benefits of implants, they are actively working to better your oral health too. So, with proper care, your dental implants will shine, and your overall health will increase.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I have gum disease, can I still get implants?
Healthy gums are vital to the success of your implant treatment, so patients with gum disease won’t be able to immediately qualify for the procedure. Dr. Chow offers a variety of treatments to eliminate gum infections and restore the health of your smile.
Once your gums are free of bacteria, you’ll be ready to receive dental implants.
How do I know if I need a dental implant?
Dental implants are the top solution for missing teeth. However, there are certain criteria that will indicate if you may need a dental implant. You’re an ideal candidate for implants if:
- You have loose teeth
- You have missing teeth
- It’s difficult for you to chew food
- Your dental bridges trap food under them
- You have the adequate bone structure to support dental implants
If I have dentures, can I still qualify for dental implants?
If you have dentures, you can still qualify for dental implants. Ideal candidates for implant treatment will be in good oral health with plenty of jawbone mass. If you suffer from inadequate bone density or gum disease, Dr. Chow can prepare you for implants with a supplemental procedure.
