DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental Implants are a time-tested method for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implants are anchored into your jaw and allow you to eat many more foods more comfortably than a traditional denture does. Dental implants are one of the many ways to replace a missing tooth.

Most implants contain multiple parts. The screw portion of the implant is usually composed of titanium. The next portion of the implant is usually the abutment, or the part that connects the implant to the crown. The crown is the part that acts as the top of our teeth.

Placing implants and restoring them is usually a months long process. It takes time for the implant to heal into the bone to allow for fusion (osseo-integration). Implants require good bone levels in order to be placed and not every area or person is a candidate for implants. If you are interested in implants, we recommend a consultation with one of our Doctors so they can develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs.
