Dental implants are one of the most exciting procedures in dentistry today. They offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. For over 30 years, dental implants have brought naturally beautiful, confident smiles to patients. In the past, partial dentures or standard bridgework was required to replace missing teeth. Today, however, dental implants offer the alternative of a permanent replacement.

A dental implant is a small titanium cylinder that is surgically placed in the jaw bone. The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth and becomes the anchor to support the new tooth. Teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are saved, unlike bridgework, which requires grinding down the teeth. The result is a natural appearance that is permanent and one that allows for chewing food with confidence!
