Dr. Kendall has been placing dental implants for over 20 years. Kaye will work with you to determine the suitability of implants specific to your overall aesthetic and functional needs together with your oral and medical health.
Implants are investments and may not last forever - we provide you with options prior to proceeding with this surgical procedure. It is imperative to have a thorough analysis of your circumstances prior to getting an implant placed - ie. your smile, bone, bite, gum and general health. This will ensure the longevity and success of your implants. Poorly considered implants can cost you more in the long run. Do it once - do it well.
We often want problems solved quickly but implant placement should not be undertaken without thorough analysis and perhaps a second opinion! It is important you understand the long term risk of complications of implant therapy relative to you.
The type, manufacturing and longevity of the implant manufacturer are also of importance. We will not substitute the quality of your implant.
