Dental Implants

THE DESIRABLE ALTERNATIVE

Dental Implants

Dental implants have become a desirable alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a range of available options give dentists a variety of new ways to treat and replace lost teeth.

Your dentist can evaluate your case and tell you if you are a candidate for dental implants. Structurally, a dental implant is a titanium-based cylinder that replaces the missing tooth root. After a period of time, other parts are placed on the implant to enable your dentist to eventually place a crown (cap) on the implant. Implants can also be used to support full or partial dentures, dramatically improving denture retention and stability.

Better Esthetics

Placed in the gum similar to a natural tooth, with a natural look compared to other alternatives.

Tissue Stability

An implant reduces the speed of bone resorption, providing tissue stability.

Retention

Keeping dentures in place is always a challenge. Dental implants offer a great improvement to denture retention for all patients.

Preservation of Natural Teeth

An implant is mostly an independent unit and does not negatively affect the adjacent teeth.
