Tooth Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made from titanium and can hold a replacement tooth, bridge or a denture.  The implant serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth.  It is machined from surgical-grade titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) to exacting specifications.  The implant is placed into either the upper or lower jawbone.  After a period of time, the implant integrates with the bone and becomes a secure anchor for a replacement tooth, a fixed bridge, a removable partial or full denture. 

What can implants do?

• Replace one or more teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.

• Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.

•  Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
  

Whether you are missing one, a few, or all of your teeth, implants may be the most natural-looking solution for restoring your smile and ability to chew with comfort and confidence.
