Dental Implants
Restore full function with implants
Dental implants are used to restore full function and beauty for missing teeth. Properly placed implants will look and feel like your natural teeth, and last for many years.
Dental Implants are made up of three parts: a titanium post, which is surgically placed into your jaw bone to replace the tooth root; a titanium abutment or container, which sits just below the gum line and will anchor your new tooth crown; and a ceramic crown, which is made of durable, tooth-colored material and looks and feels like your own natural tooth.
Uses of Dental Implants
The most common way to use an implant is to replace an individual missing tooth.
Implants can also be used to anchor a bridge that will replace multiple teeth, as well as to support dentures so that they are held firmly in place and won't slip or move around when you talk or chew.

Advantages of Dental Implants
- An implant is natural. An implant that is properly placed will fuse to the bone and make itself a natural part of your jaw. It isn't removable, and you can expect to eat, smile, talk and brush normally.
- An implant will give you superior function. Implants or implant-supported dentures will allow you to chew normally, while removable dentures will only allow you to put 5% or 10% of the amount of pressure on them that you might normally use when you eat.
- An implant is long-lasting. Dental implants have a documented success rate of more than 97%, and will last you for many, many years, far beyond the life span of a bridge or denture.
- An implant preserves your remaining teeth. You don't need to cut down adjacent teeth, or use them to support your replacement tooth. They won't drift or move, because the implant is supported just like a regular tooth.
