Replacing missing teeth
Dental implants are the closest thing modern dentistry offers to natural teeth. Whether you're missing one tooth or many, they look, feel, and function like the teeth they replace — and they last decades when properly cared for.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root — a small titanium post — placed surgically into the jawbone. Over a few months it fuses with the bone, creating a foundation that's strong enough to support a crown, bridge, or denture exactly like a natural tooth root would.
The benefits of implants
- Stability comparable to natural teeth
- Non-removable — cleaned exactly like your other teeth
- Eat and speak with full confidence
- Long-lasting, often a lifetime solution
- Designed to blend in completely with your smile
Are you a candidate?
Good candidates have healthy gums, no active periodontal disease, and enough jawbone to support the implant. If your jawbone has thinned, we can often build it up with a bone graft beforehand — opening up implants as an option for patients who'd been told it wasn't possible.
