Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are placed where the root of the tooth once was and can support a crown, bridge or even a denture. If you are someone who has one or more missing teeth they possibly can be replaced with a dental implant.

A dental implant is a long-term solution for a missing tooth. It is a screw-like piece of titanium metal, implanted into the jaw to replace a missing tooth. Bone gradually grows around the implant, so the implant becomes permanent. Once the bone has grown around the implant and it is established, a crown (artificial tooth) is custom-made to perfectly match your other teeth and is securely attached to the implant, filling the gap and looking like a natural tooth.
