Dental Implant patients will travel

The average dental patient travels about 5-10 miles to see their dentist for treatment, we found in this survey of dentists. Rural patients travel longer distances for dental care than do urban residents, obviously due to the distance from metro areas.

However, some patients keep their dentist even after moving hundreds – sometimes thousands – of miles away. Read that again.

“I’m a specialist," said one periodontist, "so we have quite a few patients from the coast, which is 90 miles away."

Agreed a dental implant dentist, "Many of our patients travel up to 4 hours by car for their treatment." An orthodontist seconded this, saying, "I have had a few patients who have traveled 150 miles one way to come to my office."

"Including the guy who comes from Palm Beach?" asked a New York oral surgeon. "Not enough patients come from far away!" So , maybe advertising in higher income areas outside your immediate zone of influence pays off big.

Maybe it's New York… “I have both an active local clientele and an international clientele,” boasted a prosthodontist from that state.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can distract from an otherwise beautiful smile and cause other dental problems that can lead to the loss of even more teeth. One of the most popular options for replacing missing teeth at our practice in Jackson, Mississippi is the placement of dental implants. Compared to other options for the replacement of missing teeth, such as dental bridges, dental implants function and look more like natural teeth. Our doctors have had special training in implant dentistry, and we use several types of implants to fit our patients’ individual needs.
Placement of Dental Implants

At the beginning of the process, the doctor will examine your mouth to determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants. During a subsequent surgical procedure, a titanium post is implanted into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the jawbone has sufficiently fused to the post, a natural-looking artificial tooth will be bonded into place.


Additional Benefits of Dental Implants

In addition to filling in unsightly gaps, dental implants also help keep surrounding teeth from drifting out of place and causing bite and other dental problems. If you have a missing tooth or you need a tooth removed, consider the benefits of dental implants for tooth replacement.
