Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Dental Implants look, feel and function just like natural teeth

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace both the tooth and the root, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. This helps restore not only the appearance of your smile but also the strength and function of your bite.

A dental implant is made up of three key parts:

The Implant – A small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root.
The Abutment – A connector that attaches the implant to the replacement tooth or teeth.
The Crown, Bridge, or Denture – A custom-made restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth.

The titanium implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and secure foundation for the final restoration.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges:

Natural Look and Feel – Implants look, feel, and function just like real teeth.
Prevents Bone Loss – Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.
Long-Lasting – With proper care, implants can last for decades.
Improved Comfort – No slipping or discomfort like with dentures.
Better Oral Health – Unlike bridges, implants don’t require reducing adjacent teeth.
Restores Confidence – Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Am I Suitable for Dental Implants?

Most adults with good general and oral health are suitable for dental implants. You may be a good candidate if you:

Have one or more missing teeth.
Have sufficient bone density to support the implant (or are suitable for a bone graft).
Have healthy gums.
Are committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

If you’ve been told in the past that you’re not a suitable candidate for implants due to bone loss, we offer advanced techniques such as bone grafting and sinus lifts to help increase bone volume and make implants possible.
