Implants

Implant dentistry is the most advanced therapy available to replace teeth. In addition to looking and feeling like real teeth, dental implants may allow you to:

• improve your smile
• eat the foods you enjoy
• restore chewing for easy digestion
• speak with greater ease
• restore your facial structure
• enjoy an active lifestyle
• live with confidence.

Dental implants offer a solution to missing teeth that is intended to be permanent. A dental implant is a small titanium screw or cylinder that is surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone. The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth, providing an anchor for your new tooth/teeth.

Single Tooth and Multiple Tooth Replacement

Because dental implants replace the tooth root and serve as an anchor, your new tooth/teeth are secured directly on the implant. This treatment allows teeth to be restored naturally, without harming or involving your surrounding teeth.

Small metal posts are connected to the implant, allowing the replacement tooth to be secured with dental cement or a small screw.

Implant Supported Dentures

Dental implants can also be placed to anchor and support partial and full dentures, eliminating the need for dental adhesives. Enjoy having the confidence to eat the food you previously avoided.

Dentures can be supported with either a bar/clip or ball/socket attachment for removal, allowing for regular cleaning.

Robert Hernandez - Age 50
Front tooth replaced after softball injury
"After I lost my front tooth, I was embarrassed to smile - even when I was doing the things I loved. A friend suggested a dental implant because it looks natural and is the only option that is intended to be permanent. Within two months, I had my new tooth. When I tell people I had a front tooth replaced, they say 'Which one?' Now that's something to smile about!"

Frank Hoffman - Age 70
Implants used to anchor dentures
"I was tired of my dentures always slipping. It was embarrassing and I was uncomfortable talking and eating with others. Adhesives were difficult to use and they never seemed to work. I visited my doctor, who suggested dental implants. The procedure was easy and now my dentures stay in place no matter where I am or what I eat."
