Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants
Benefits of Dental Implants for Your Smile
Dental implants are lasting, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or complete arches of teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post.
Following this healing period, our dentists will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post. Depending on which teeth are missing and your personal dental needs, your implant restoration might be a dental crown, dental bridge, or a complete or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically.
Replacing a missing tooth can restore your smile to optimal health, function and appearance. A dental implant is a great option for restoring your smile because the implant is designed to look, function and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime.

The Advantages of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants are small posts, typically made of biocompatible materials like titanium, that serve as artificial tooth roots. They are surgically placed into your jawbone, where the bone gradually fuses with the implant, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
The procedure starts with numbing the area for your comfort. The implant is carefully positioned beneath the gums, and over the next few months, your bone grows around it in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached, restoring your smile with a natural, strong, and long-lasting result.
Different Dental Implant Options
- Single-Tooth Implant
Perfect for replacing a single missing tooth, this option uses a titanium post topped with a custom crown that blends naturally with your smile. - Implant-Supported Bridges
Designed to replace several missing teeth in a row, these bridges are anchored to implants rather than natural teeth, providing enhanced stability and durability. - Implant-Supported Dentures
Ideal for patients missing most or all teeth, these dentures attach to a few strategically placed implants for a secure, comfortable fit without the need for adhesives. - All-on-4 Implants
This technique restores an entire arch of teeth using just four implants, offering a faster, more efficient solution for full-mouth restoration with fewer implants and quicker healing.
