DENTAL IMPLANTS
We can help you!
If you are missing a tooth, our dentists may recommend that you consider a dental implant. Implants are a permanent and effective solution that can help you restore beauty and function to your smile. Our modern implants are designed to function, feel, and look just like your natural teeth and can last a lifetime with the right care.
Dental implants are lasting, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or complete arches of teeth.
The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable.
A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post.
Following this healing period, our dentist will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post.
Depending on which teeth are missing and your personal dental needs, your implant restoration might be a dental crown, dental bridge, or a complete or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom-made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically.
