What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a safe, medically proven, esthetic alternative to traditional crowns, bridgework, and dentures. Because implant restorations look and feel more like natural teeth, they offer new levels of comfort, security and confidence over traditional treatments.

How do they work ?
A dental implant is a small "anchor" made of titanium that is inserted into the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. After osseointegration (when the surrounding bone has healed to the implant), a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant. The new tooth looks, feels and performs similar to your natural teeth.

What are the benefits?
Choosing dental implants as a treatment option can offer you a number of significant advantages.
- Maintain
anatomy. If you have missing teeth, the bone begins
to shrink over time. Unhealthy bone loss can make your jaw line
recede and change your facial structure. Dental implants can
help prevent deteriorations of the jawbone so your face retains
its natural shape.
-
Keep your healthy teeth. A better long-term alternative to bridgework, dental implants eliminate the need to grind down healthy teeth when replacing one or more adjacent teeth. Your own natural healthy teeth are not compromised.
- Security.
Securely anchored dental implants do not slip or move. This
eliminates some of the key problems of dentures, including poor
fit, gum irritation and decreased chewing efficiency. The result
is superior comfort, reliability, freedom from embarrassment.
