When a tooth has been lost or damaged, dental implants provide an option for patients to receive a new healthy smile. 

​

An implant is a special surgical grade titanium post, that is inserted surgically into the jawbone below the gum surface.  As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation onto which your new teeth are then attached and shaped to match your mouth. The number of teeth being replaced will determine the best kind of restoration for you. Implants can help replace a single tooth, or a full set of teeth.

​

Dental implants are not recommended for everyone. In order to be eligible to receive implants, you must have enough bone structure to support the implant, free of chronic illnesses and must ensure that you will maintain proper oral hygiene to care for a new implant.
