Dental Implants
Missing teeth can be restored by placing implants in where the roots were or by bridging a replacement tooth to existing teeth. Implants are the closest we get to a natural tooth makeover; restoring teeth to near-lifelike health, function, and beauty.

Implant Dentistry
Losing a tooth greatly increases the decline of oral health. Nearby teeth wear faster and break more often. Bone structure weakens and shrinks. The jaw recedes and your facial profile changes. That is why you should consider implants, which achieve both oral health rejuvenation and an aesthetic smile makeover.
Complete (adhesive) dentures, partial removable dentures and crown and bridge dentistry offer the results some people appreciate and others merely tolerate. While these treatments are still preferred by some people, dental implants or implant-supported dentures offer a higher level of satisfaction.

Patients healthy enough to for a routine extraction are most often good candidates for a dental implant procedure. A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed in the jaw, which is then restored with a substitute tooth molded to match the missing tooth.
