Implants are now your best option for replacing a missing tooth or multiple teeth. If you want to avoid removal partials or bridges, implants are your best choice and look and feel like your natural teeth.

Our oral surgeon is an expert in the precise placement of dental implants. Once the implant adapts to the bone, we are then able to follow it up with a beautiful crown, bridge, or use the implants to securely hold a denture in place.

Dental implants replace tooth roots in the mouth, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Implants are small anchors made out of titanium and are placed in the jawbone. Over the course of a few months, the anchors fuse with the bone. Once this process is complete, abutment posts are inserted into the anchors. A crown can then be attached to the abutment post.

An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for a patient’s natural teeth.

Traditional dentures rely on an acrylic base that sits directly on the gums, held in place by a paste or adhesive. Using implants as supports for dentures allows for a smaller and more comfortable base and less shifting of the prosthesis during use.
