People with missing teeth are often embarrassed or frustrated by the discomfort and inconvenience of dentures. They complain of difficulty eating and are bothered by their appearance. Developed more than 40 years ago by Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark in Sweden, dental implants eliminate the need for dentures by replacing lost teeth. Implants look and feel natural, so they offer renewed self-confidence and peace of mind.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as a tooth root substitute. They help preserve facial structure and prevent bone deterioration. With precise surgical placement and adequate time for healing, they bond to the bone, creating a strong foundation for the replacement teeth. Once implants are placed and restored, they can serve you for many years to come.
Good oral hygiene and regular appointments with your general dentist will ensure implant longevity. To get the best possible functional and esthetic outcome, we work closely with your dentist to coordinate and customize your care. Watch a Video Tutorial of the Procedure. |
