Dental Implants

If you are missing teeth and are tired of having loose dentures, dental implants may be a great option for you. To many dentists, implants are considered the gold standard of tooth replacement options. Implants are the most similar to a tooth in both form and function as they mimic the entire structure of your natural teeth. The implant is placed in a patient’s jaw bone, recreating the root portion of a tooth. Once the implant is healed, a crown is attached to the implant to restore the look and function of the missing tooth. Implants generally last longer than bridges or partials and eliminate the hassle of unsecured dentures.
