Implant Dentistry

Dental Implants

The loss of even one tooth can seriously impact both the function of your bite and your confidence in your appearance. Adjacent teeth can be compromised by the gap left by a missing tooth, shifting position or becoming more vulnerable to chips and cracking. For our clients dental implants offer a permanent and proven solution to missing teeth. The implant process involves attaching a custom-made, artificial tooth to an anchor post surgically implanted in the jawbone. This post integrates into the bone, providing a firm anchor on which natural-looking, custom-made restorations can be placed.

Dental implants can be used to:

Replace a missing tooth or teeth
Support dental bridges
Secure dentures (either removable or full and fixed)

Advantages of Dental Implants

Of all dental restoration solutions, dental implants have the highest rate of success. They look, feel, and function just like real teeth, and can last a lifetime with proper care.

Dental implants have other advantages too:

Dental implant restorations never decay.
Dental implants prevent the side effects of tooth loss — namely, gum recession, bone loss, and speech difficulties.
Dental implants restore proper chewing and the full strength of your bite.
Dental implants are comfortable and convenient.
Unlike other dental restorations such as bridges, dental implants do not require the grinding down of the teeth on each side of the gap.
Because dental implants prevent bone loss, they preserve the appearance of your face and prevent sunken cheeks.
Dental implants can make dentures secure and reliable — say goodbye to messy adhesives and slipping, uncomfortable dentures!
