DENTAL implants
A dental implant is a replacement for a missing tooth designed to match the look of your natural tooth. There is very little discomfort with this procedure, and it comes with many benefits, including:
-
Restore your self confidence. We artfully replace the missing tooth with an implant that looks and feels like just like your own tooth
-
Immediate results. Dental implant procedure can be done in as little as one session.
-
They're comfortable. Implants eliminate the need for dentures, and the discomfort that comes from inserting and removing them. Eating your favorite foods are no longer a hassle.

Healthy teeth remain undisturbed. Traditional tooth-supported bridges often requires grinding down adjacent teeth. Dental implants don't require this, leaving more of your own teeth left intact, improving long-term oral health.

They're permanent. The implants be come a part of you, and with good care, many implants last a lifetime.
What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are one solution to replace missing teeth designed to match the look of your natural teeth. This is a new and exciting way to have a beautiful smile.
Dental implants are metal-based roots comprised of titanium metal that are secured to your jaw and capped with dental crowns to make up for missing teeth. Titanium is often the metal of choice because it is not rejected by your body and can last for many, many years due to its strength.

Replace multiple teeth
