About
Dental Implants
When you have one or more missing teeth, we can use our custom-made artificial “prosthetic” teeth to fill in the gaps, but have you ever wondered how these teeth are held firmly in place, ready to withstand chewing that hard piece of fruit or steak? The answer to this question is dental implants, which can be described as an artificial root that is implanted into the jawbone, where the natural root once stood. Dental implants serve as the foundation for all artificial teeth.

Dental Implants Can Be Used For One Missing Tooth Or A Full Mouth Restoration
Dental implants are made from titanium and are incredibly strong screws or posts that are surgically implanted into the patient’s jawbone. Then, artificial replacement teeth are attached to the implant. The result is a new, fully-functional tooth that is stronger than both dentures and traditional bridges.
While dentures and bridges are also viable options to replace missing teeth, each have downsides affecting functionality and durability. Dentures can sometimes come loose due to the way they fit around the gums, and dental bridges rely on the strength of the adjoining healthy teeth to which they are adhered. Therefore, dental implants are the strongest tooth replacement option because they do not rely on the strength of any other teeth, titanium never wears down, and the replacement tooth will be locked securely into place. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to discuss the pros and cons of all options, we’re happy to discuss with you. Please simply reach out to us for a consultation!
Appointment RequestWhat Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a great option for patients who are candidates for traditional dentures but do not want to deal with the extra maintenance and slippage that occurs when they inevitably come loose. The titanium roots of implants can solve this problem by securing dentures securely into place. For those that are missing several teeth on the upper or lower row of their mouth, implant-supported dentures may be the very best option even if a few natural teeth must first be extracted prior to the implant-supported dentures being installed. We understand that dentistry can be complicated and your options can feel overwhelming, but we are happy to evaluate your condition and make recommendations. Please simply reach out to us for scheduling. We look forward to assisting you!

Is A Dental Implant An Option For Me If I Only Have One Missing Tooth?
If you want the strongest and most stable replacement for a missing tooth and are fortunate enough to have strong bone structure, a dental implant is not the only option for you but it is likely the very best option. Your procedure would be performed by having our dental surgeon implant the titanium post into your jawbone and an artificial tooth, which is custom created in-house by our talented professionals, would then be adhered to the post. This procedure creates very positive outcomes as patients are happy with their results over the long-term!
“Dental implants are excellent options for patients who are missing one tooth, several teeth, or even those who need a whole mouth restoration. Patients love the functionality, durability, and amazing aesthetic result that our implants have to offer!”
