Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth. They mimic the form, function and feel of natural teeth. Implants themselves are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jaw bone. Implants are similar to the root of a natural tooth. They anchor the crown of the tooth, or what you see above the gum line. 

Replace missing teeth, improve aesthetics and increase function.  

Implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, depending on your treatment needs. Implants can serve to anchor bridges or dentures. There is no need for removable appliances with the use of implants.
