To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about coronavirus in public places, even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

It has been a very difficult decision, but we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community, our team, and our patients that we not see patients for the time being.

If you do have a scheduled appointment, we will be reaching out to you directly to get you rescheduled to a future date.

This is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you … and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at (605) 277-9049.

Sincerely,

Dr. Valerie Drake

ARE ALL-ON-4 DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR YOU?

It’s true that we won’t be able to give you your natural teeth back following adult tooth loss, but if you are the right candidate, we will be able to give you the next best thing: All-on-4 dental implants. These life-like replacement teeth can quickly improve your unfortunate situation restoring your confidence as well as your health! Keep reading and then be sure to get in touch with our Aberdeen, SD dental team to schedule your dental implant consultation with Dr. Drake!

Because Teeth Aren’t The Only Things You Are Missing

It can be a real life-changing event to have a tooth (or multiple teeth) fall out. But you don’t have to feel isolated or alone in your pain. No one is immune to tooth loss. If you drive a car, work outside the home, are involved in sports or exercise routines, you are susceptible to the sort of accidents than can dislodge your teeth in the blink of an eye!

When you lose one tooth, that is bad enough. If you are missing a full arch of teeth, you will really feel the hurt. You won’t look like your old self, and that will only add to your despair. You will probably be more self-conscious when it comes to socializing or speaking up at work. And in certain circumstances, your embarrassment may actually prevent you from seeking the appropriate dental care for remedying the situation. Please don’t worry about any judgement from us. We just want to help you take back your life as quickly as possible.

More than your altered appearance, there is the matter of your health. Remember: when you don’t have a full set of teeth, you can’t bite into things the way you used to, and you can’t effectively chew healthy, fiber-rich foods. This situation is not sustainable and it won’t be any good for your health in the long run. Fortunately, a dental implant procedure can save you from such a horrible fate.

All-On-4 Improves Your Life

We use dental implants to replace the roots of your teeth. Like your original roots, your dental implants stimulate the jawbone, and this spurs new growth. This growth keeps your jawbone healthy and prevents any more bone loss.

On top of your new roots, we will place dental crowns to mimic the appearance of real teeth. In the event that you were missing one tooth, we would add a basic dental crown. If you need to replace a full arch of teeth, however, All-On-4 may be your most viable option.

With All-On-4, you can go from having no teeth to having the appearance of a full set of teeth in just a day! How does it happen? We begin by strategically placing four dental implants inside your jawbone. Then, we attach a set of implant-secured dentures to your implants.

In short, you will regain the appearance of all your teeth on four dental implants. That said, All-On-4 dental implants aren’t just about looking better. All-On-4 dental implants give you back both the look of your real teeth and something very close to the function of those teeth, which makes a big difference in the quality of your life!

You can trust that the dental implants Dr. Drake places will be securely held in-place by your jawbone, and that will allow for significantly more stability than you can expect with other kinds of dentures. As such, with All-On-4, you can continue to eat all the foods you love without worrying about your dentures coming loose when you bite into them.

Our team can help you maintain your dignity, your happiness, and your health! All you have to do is come in and set it all up.
