What are Dental Implants?

Sleeping in the comfortable grassDental implants are synthetic tooth roots that can be placed directly into your jawline. Implants function just like your regular tooth roots would and keep your jawbone healthy and strong. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone underneath starts to deteriorate. The jaw bone underneath where you lost your tooth doesn’t have the support it needs to stay strong and healthy. This can affect the appearance of your face, and how happy and well you feel. Dental implants are perfect substitutes for your natural tooth root. They give your jawbone the support it needs to stay strong, and provide a sturdy foundation for a beautiful crown.

When combined with a porcelain crowns, dental implants provide a perfect artificial tooth that looks, feels, and functions beautifully. With a dental implant procedure, no one will know that you ever lost a tooth.

Titanium Dental Implants

stock01We offer titanium dental implants. All of our dental implants are made from a high quality titanium alloy. This alloy is the same metal that is used in hip replacements and other replacement surgeries. We use this titanium in our dental implants because this material will fuse directly with the bone in your jaw just like a natural tooth root. We also use titanium dental implants because they provide a strong foundation, and are durable enough to last a lifetime.

Mini Implants

At our office, we offer regular implants, and mini implants. Mini implants are a smaller version of our normal implants. They can be used to replace smaller teeth or to fill in smaller gaps in your mouth. Using mini implants, even if you’ve lost a small tooth, you can still enjoy a full and beautiful smile. Using mini implants patients can enjoy complete and perfect occlusion and a strong and healthy bite.
