Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant consists of a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone, where it functions as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to restore the appearance and function of your smile.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth. They can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or to help support dentures. Many patients choose dental implants because they provide a secure and comfortable alternative to removable dentures.
