Dental Implant - Before
Dental Implant - After
A dental implant is a small titanium post that can be placed in the upper and lower jaws to serve as a replacement for the root portion of the missing natural tooth. Because of the biocompatible properties of the titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone to become a solid anchor for the replacement tooth that goes on top of it (called a dental implant restoration). Dental implants can be used as a solution for replacing one, a few, or all your missing teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implants…
Dental implants are generally stronger and more durable than bridges and dentures and offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. They act and feel exactly like natural teeth.
Implants can also be used together with other dental procedures for greater effectiveness. For example, while a dental implant can be used to replace a single missing tooth, it can also be used to support a dental bridge or a set of upper or lower dentures.

Are You A Candidate for Dental Implants?
The great news is that almost everyone is a candidate for dental implant treatment. The ideal candidate has good general and oral health. Adequate quantity and quality of bone is needed to support the dental implant. Those with limited bone can actually ‘grow’ new bone through modern bone grafting procedures, if necessary. Those who currently have dentures and/or partials can use dental implants to replace these with dental implants, or use implants to secure and stabilize the denture.
