A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium that is placed into your jaw bone by one of our preferred oral surgeons or periodontists. Once the titanium implant heals inside the jaw, you will return to our office where we will measure and fit you with a new implant crown. These restorations will look and feel like your natural teeth. You will be given home care instructions to increase the longevity of your new crown and underlying implant.
Dental implants benefit anyone missing one or more teeth when traditional bridges, partials, and dentures are not indicated or preferred. Implants are a terrific alternative for single tooth replacement. If missing multiple teeth, implants will serve as anchors for bridges and for denture retention.
Make sure to inquire whether or not implants are right for you!
