Dental Implants

  
Dental implants provide an exciting option for people missing some or all of their teeth.   They look, feel, and function like your own natural teeth.  The implant process is effective and it's safe.  The system we use has evolved over 35 years of documented research.
 
Implants have provided the proverbial "new lease on life" for thousands of people, allowing them to eat, smile, and speak naturally again.  The quality of their lives has been significantly improved.

Implant systems differ. But for the right candidates, all offer a more functional alternative to removable dentures.
     

Traditional options in replacing a tooth
or teeth are not without side-effects

      
A Traditional Bridge
Adjacent teeth are shaved down for a crown that connects to a false tooth.

A Removable Partial or a Full Denture Arch
A removable partial or a full denture needs adjustments and alignments. They wear down over time and need to be replaced. The gum tissue and jawbone continues to shrink because of the lack of "tooth root".

New teeth are developed to ensure optimal size, shape, color and fit so they will blend with your facial characteristics and provide support needed for a natural appearance.
           

Case illustration for a missing tooth ...

   
If you've lost a tooth ...
A lost tooth can be replaced by a single implant. The implant replaces the tooth root. Next a crown is placed onto the implant.
