Dental Implants

If you have one or more missing teeth and would like a restoration option that looks and feels like a natural tooth, dental implants may be a perfect option for you. Dental implants can also be used to securely anchor dentures so you’ll have no more problems with loose dentures that interfere with speaking, eating and smiling.

A dental implant is a titanium tooth root that takes the place of a natural tooth root and is equally as strong. The titanium tooth root is surgically implanted in your jawbone; your body’s bone tissue naturally fuses with the titanium and creates a reliable prosthetic tooth root. When you are missing teeth, the bone can weaken and the jaw can recede. Implants keep your jaw strong and youthful looking.

Dental Implants can also be used to secure and stabilize dentures or partials.
