The front six teeth in your mouth are often referred to as “the smile zone” because they are the most visible when you smile. If you’re missing any teeth in this area, it can be very embarrassing. If you’re wondering what tooth replacement option is best for the smile zone, dental implants may be the ideal choice. They not only look completely natural, but they also support the jaw bone and prevent it from losing its shape over time.
It is no small decision to seek dental implant treatment, but it may be a wise one. If you are a candidate for dental implants, you can enjoy many benefits, including eating the foods you love and caring for your implants as you would your real teeth.

Dr. Steven Saunders and Dr. Jeff Dickson advise any smokers to quit the habit before going through with implants for a few good reasons.
