Dental Implants

Dental implants are an excellent dental option for patients who are missing a single tooth and do not wish to have a conventional bridge or have multiple missing teeth and do not wish to have a removable appliance.  They can also be used to hold ill-fitting dentures in place. Made of a titanium alloy that is both strong and biocompatible, dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed directly into the jaw bone and soft tissue. After the dental implant is placed by an oral surgeon and both the bone and gums grow around it, the dental implant is uncovered, and an implant abutment and crown is placed by us.
