Dental Implants

So natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth.


sedation dentistryDental implants are today’s treatment of choice for missing teeth.
Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own. Dental implants are fixtures of small cylinder titanium that are surgically screwed into your jaw bone. An implant becomes a part of you. The body accepts titanium therefore your dental implant is a long term way to replace missing teeth.

Dental implants are an ideal option and the most advanced therapy for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. When you contrast the time investment that dental implant therapy requires versus the repeated office visits required for adjustments, special cleanings and replacements for partials, bridges and dentures, it is easy to imagine how much better life can be with dental implants. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally.
