Dental Implants

If you have missing teeth, it is critical to replace them. Without all your teeth, chewing and eating can destabilize your bite and cause you discomfort. When teeth are missing, your jawbone can shrink and cause your face to look older. Dental implants can stop the shrinkage of the jawbone, unlike dentures or dental bridges. Dental implants are a permanent way to replace your missing teeth and can also be used in conjunction with dentures. Dental implants can be placed in the upper and lower jaws, and can replace just a single tooth, or multiple missing teeth.

An implant is a new porcelain tooth that looks just like your natural tooth. In fact, it is often difficult to tell the difference between your natural teeth and an implant. Your implant is composed of two parts that mimic a tooth's root and crown. Because of this added stability, chewing capabilities are comparable to that of natural teeth.
