DENTAL IMPLANTS
PLACEMENT OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Permanent Tooth Replacement
That Looks & Feels Natural
If you're missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a long-term, natural-looking solution that restores your smile and your confidence. Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like real teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile comfortably again.
​
An implant replaces the entire tooth structure, from root to crown. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over time, the bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong, stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
​
Dental implants not only restore your bite and appearance — they also help preserve your facial structure and prevent the bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing.​​
​
