Implants are a permanent, restorative procedure that offer patients a natural-looking, secure replacement for missing teeth. Problems associated with tooth loss can range from discomfort and gum disease to trouble with speaking and eating.

Dental implants can be an effective method to replace one tooth, or several teeth. Simply put, an implant is an artificial device replacing the tooth's root. Each implant consists of a metal anchor that is inserted into the jawbone, and a protruding post, which is outfitted with an artificial tooth. Implants can also support a bridge, replace a partial denture or secure a fixed denture.

Today's dental implants allow solid, secure function coupled with a great looking set of teeth!
