Restoring Stability and Function

How Can Dental Implants Improve Your Everyday Life?

Here are some of the ways that dental implants can affect your day-to-day activities:

Improved Chewing and Speech

Dental implants function like natural teeth and can improve your ability to chew and speak properly. This can enhance your overall quality of life by allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and communicate with confidence.

Increased Comfort

Dental implants are designed to be comfortable and secure. They do not require adhesives or adjustments like dentures or bridges. This can eliminate discomfort and irritation that can be associated with other tooth replacement options.

Enhanced Appearance

Dental implants can greatly improve your smile and facial structure because they are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. This can boost your self-confidence and improve your overall appearance.

Improved Oral Health

Dental implants can help to preserve the integrity of the jawbone and prevent further bone loss that can occur when a tooth is missing. They can also make it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene by allowing for easier brushing and flossing.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years and even a lifetime, providing you with a long-term solution for missing teeth. This can eliminate the need for frequent visits to the dentist and the inconvenience of having to replace dentures or bridges.

Education and Experience

The Watterson Way

Dr. Scott Watterson

Many people would define cosmetic dentistry by what they’ve seen on “extreme makeover” type shows. However, subtle changes can be just as effective at improving a smile, as well as someone’s confidence about smiling.

Many have the misconception that all cosmetic services are incredibly expensive or long, drawn out procedures, which discourages them from moving forward with what they truly want.

Dr. Watterson uses the most conservative treatment possible, while pursuing your maximum health and function. Our cosmetic care is specifically tailored to your needs, concerns, and how you want your smile to shine in the end.

Serving as a general dentist for 25 years, I have developed and curated a passion for cosmetic dentistry in all its facets. I believe that form follows function and that is the basis of my practice. When your teeth are able to function the way you need them to, beautiful form naturally follows.

My desire is for the work of my hands to reach beyond the individual to impact everyone who is graced with their smile.

I can’t say enough great things about Watterson Dentistry. All of the staff treated me very well. They are so personal and make you feel at home. If you’re looking for a new dentist get on over there.

Great staff! They make you feel like part of the family. If you dread the dentist due to concern of discomfort, you don’t have to worry if you are seen here. I have had the deep cleaning below the gum line, routine cleanings, and I am now receiving orthodontic treatment. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Watterson and staff.

Where does a dentist go when he needs work done in his own mouth? I go to my U of M Dental School classmate, Dr. Scott Watterson. Why? I can trust him (and you can too) to do what is proper and do it well. It doesn’t hurt either that he has a top-notch support team!
