What is an Implant?

​

It is important to replace missing teeth because they are an integral part of restoring function and health to your smile. Whether you are missing one or more teeth, we can use dental implants to restore your lost teeth. An implant is a small titanium post that a dentist inserts into the jaw bone. Once the implants fuses, we can place a dental crown, denture, or bridge to restore your smile.

​

The Advantages of Dental Implants:

Dental implants replace the tooth and the crown portion of the tooth. This makes them the ideal solution for tooth replacement. Also, they do not rely on the adjacent teeth for support. They are the only replacement option that promotes bone regeneration in the jaw.

• Convenience: Implants are the only permanent option for missing teeth. You should care for them as you would your natural teeth.

• Beauty: Implant restorations are often created using dental porcelain, which can be molded to resemble your natural teeth.

• Comfort: Your implants are designed especially for you. A custom restoration will fit comfortably over your implants, allowing you to make the most out of your new smile.

• Stability: Dental implants will help the final restoration remain stable. An implant secured restoration will not slip or loosen.

• Improved Dental Health: Implants can reduce the risk of jaw bone loss after a tooth loss.
