Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. A small titanium post takes the place of the root and anchors a crown on top, giving you a replacement that looks, feels, and works like a natural tooth.
Why implants hold up
Because an implant is anchored in the bone, it does not rely on the teeth around it the way a bridge does, and it does not slip the way a partial can. It fills the gap and helps keep the neighboring teeth and your jawbone from shifting over time.
Getting an implant is a process with a few stages spread over time, and we will map out each step for you at the start so there are no surprises about what happens when.
Replacing one tooth or several
Implants can replace a single tooth or support a larger restoration when several teeth are missing. During your visit we will look at your bone, your gums, and your overall health to tell you honestly whether an implant is the right choice for your situation, or whether another option fits better.
