Dental Implants

What’s the most natural way to replace a missing tooth? With a dental implant. This proven restorative solution has become the tooth replacement method choice of discerning patients who want a permanent solution to revitalize an incomplete smile or stabilize an ill-fitting denture. Dental implants mirror Mother Nature’s design and replace both the root and crown of a tooth for unsurpassed longevity and an appearance that’s indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

Anatomy of a Dental Implant

A dental implant consists of a tiny, titanium post and handcrafted dental crown. An oral surgeon or periodontist places the implant post into the jawbone where it becomes a cohesive unit with natural tissue to form a firm foundation for one or more replacement teeth.

Dental Implants Provide Innumerable Benefits

With implants, you’ll regain a secure, natural-looking, and comfortable smile. Implants stop the jawbone loss that occurs when the chewing forces of natural teeth are no longer present. Many dental implant patients report that they look younger because facial skin regains the support that teeth provide. You won’t need to use adhesive to hold your teeth in place, and you’ll never again experience the embarrassment of denture slippage. You can eat what you want and enjoy life to the fullest.
