Implants from
Tucson Dentist Dr. Anne Stolcis

Implant technology has revolutionized the way we practice dentistry. Implants have given us solutions to problems that had no solution previously. Before implants, when a single tooth or multiple teeth were missing, there were two options: a bridge or a removable partial/denture. Bridges require preparation of the existing teeth used to hold the bridge in place which can jeopardize the future these teeth. Bridges can only replace a limited amount of teeth, are subject to specific requirements, and have a relatively low life expectancy. As far as partials/dentures go, let’s face it, even the best are annoying and somewhat uncomfortable. Implants have virtually the same feel as natural teeth and exceptional esthetics can be achieved. The placement and retention of implants is independent of the other teeth, therefore, they do not compromise the existing teeth. The longevity of implants far surpasses any other option making implants the economical choice as well. Dr. Stolcis started her implant training while still in dental school, and it has been the focus of her continuing education ever since.
