Dental Implants

For many people, missing teeth are a source of insecurity and self-doubt—however, it’s not just an issue of cosmetics. If not corrected, missing teeth can also contribute to health risks, like bite misalignment, an increased chance of losing further teeth, and even bone loss in the jaw.

Dental implant surgery is an effective and long-lasting solution, whether you have one missing tooth or several. Not only do implants improve the appearance of your smile, but they also help prevent the aforementioned health issues.

Implants are equipped with screw-shaped titanium posts, which act as artificial tooth roots. The post of the implant is inserted into the jaw, and over time, the bone heals seamlessly around the screw. Made to match, dental implants are nearly indistinguishable from your natural teeth. After the healing process, you’ll be able to chew with your implants and brush them like you would any other tooth.
