Dental Implants

At University Avenue Dental, Dr. Pyle makes your oral health and function a top priority. Nothing may be more embarrassing and frustrating than having one or more missing teeth. Thanks to dental implants, Muncie patients are able to look and feel just as they had never lost a tooth to begin with.

Dental implants are a safe, effective way to restore natural appearance and function after tooth loss. Small titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting directly as the missing tooth root. Once placed, Dr. Pyle will create and attach a beautiful porcelain crown to the implant, which will become your new tooth. Whether replacing one or many teeth, your new dental implants will be as characteristic aesthetically and functionally as the teeth you were born with.

Dental implants also protect and preserve bone health. Any time a tooth is lost, it loses the strong support that had been provided by the tooth root. If this foundation is not replaced, the bone in the jaw will begin to deteriorate over time. This type of bone loss leads to a sunken appearance of the facial structure, dysfunction of the remaining teeth, and the possibility of other health concerns.

Replacing teeth with dental implants has become the preferred choice between dentists and patients alike. If you have one or more missing teeth and are considering your tooth-replacement options, visit University Avenue Dental, and speak with Dr. Pyle about dental implants in Muncie.
