Dental Implants: Make a Long-Term Investment in Your Smile
When you need to replace a tooth from your smile, make sure you are making a wise choice. Dental implants are a true investment in the life of your smile.

That number jumps to more than 70% when you start looking at adults over the age of 65. If this disease were fatal or contagious, we would…
