Dental Implants

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a procedure in which a tooth root is actually replaced by titanium implants that fasten into your jaw bone. The implant is then used to secure crowns or other types of bridge work. If you have lost a tooth a dental implant is a must to prevent bone loss in the area of the missing tooth. You also might be a candidate if the tooth in one area is facing much deterioration, instead of waiting for the lost of your tooth we can extract it, place an implant, and fasten a strong crown that will greatly improve the health of your mouth.

Health Benefits

Your jawbone needs the support of your tooth roots to stay strong and healthy. Without support the bone surrounding the missing tooth can start to deteriorate. Implants are the only restorative treatment for missing teeth that replaces both the root and crown of the tooth. A dental implant can help prevent further jawbone deterioration and preserve your face shape.

What is the process?

Implants are not as scary as they sound. We first attached screw-like titanium post into the jawbone. Then a porcelain crown is molded perfectly to your tooth and smile to match. The bone heals around this implant, creating a strong base for your new tooth.
