Dental Implants

Don’t Live with Damaged Teeth Any Longer!

Are you embarrassed about missing or damaged teeth? You are not alone. Over 100 million adults are missing teeth. 
Embarrassed

A dental implant is a great solution for missing teeth or to replace the tooth removed during a recent tooth extraction. The implant is a small, sturdy, titanium post that acts as the root structure would for a natural tooth, and it is placed into your upper or lower jaw bone. After the bone grows around the implant, the implant can hold a crown, bridge or over-denture just like roots hold natural teeth in place.

Just like your real teeth, implants require similar maintenance, which includes brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. All these steps can help your implants last a lifetime.
