Dental Implants

When teeth are damaged or otherwise need to be removed, it can leave a physical and emotional void in an individual. Missing teeth are associated with illness, social status, and your professional experiences. For the personal, medical, and social implications that missing teeth can communicate, it’s extremely vital to replace teeth whenever possible. In the past, this meant waiting until further tooth loss and then relying on dentures, or using partial plates which could become dislodged.

Dental implants are the most advanced treatment for replacing missing teeth. Implants permanently replace a natural tooth by placing a small titanium post into the jaw under the gumline which is then used to support a tooth, bridge or denture. The post fuses with the bone, creating a custom-fitted tooth, bridge or denture secured to the implant, which holds them firmly in place.
