Dental Implants

If you are missing a single tooth or several teeth next to other healthy teeth, your best replacement option will be a dental implant. Dental implants are a healthy and strong solution to missing teeth or teeth that are too damaged to save. If you need an implant, your dentist will arrange an appointment for the surgical operation. This operation involves opening the gums in the intended area, and inserting a titanium post into the jawbone. When the post is successfully inserted, your dentist will have a false tooth made to fit the post that exactly matches your missing tooth and will blend in with your other natural teeth.

After the implant heals, you will be able to function normally, as your new tooth will be strong enough to last for years to come. Implants are a great way to permanently replace your missing teeth in a way that is nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Benefits of having an implant placed:

• Restores function
• Blends in
• Permanent
• Custom made
• Preserves jaw bone
• Sedation available
