A Dental Implant is a titanium screw placed in the jaw. Few advances in Dentistry have been as great as Dental Implants. Briefly stated, Dental Implants replace single missing teeth or anchor multiple teeth together like a bridge or a denture. Dentures are necessary whenever all the teeth are missing in either upper or lower jaw. Dental implants are the next best alternative to your natural teeth. Dental implants are permanent, strong, natural feeling and look beautiful. Patients with dental implants are able to eat, smile and laugh without the embarrassment their dentures might slip or click. Whether you are a candidate for implants is evaluated on an individual basis. If you are missing teeth, we can explain all tooth replacement options with you.
Reasons you may want to consider dental implants:
How long your implants last depend primarily on how well your teeth are cared for. If you have good oral hygiene, including good home care and regular dental check-ups, your implants can last for many years, even a lifetime.
