Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically inserted into your jaw bone, often where teeth are missing. The implant acts as a substitute to your tooth’s natural root, creating a strong foundation which are attached to small posts that come out through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for the implant crown, an artificial replacement tooth which restores the form and function similar to that of a natural one.

If you have lost a tooth, you can regain the ability to eat normally again and can smile with confidence, knowing that your teeth can appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, here are some great reasons to consider them:

● Improved appearance
● Easier cleaning
● Prevent bone loss
● Increased bite strength
● Supports adjacent teeth
● Can enable natural speech

Dentures and bridges can also be supported by dental implants.
