Dental Implants

A dental implant is a synthetic root positioned into the jaw bone to provide a stable foundation for tooth attachments. Unlike the bridge, an implant is an independent restoration that does not rely on adjacent teeth.

Implants recreate the ability to chew and enjoy food, while eliminating the inconvenience and embarrassment associated with removable teeth. Though the implant requires surgery, it is an excellent alternative to a bridge, as it does not rely on neighboring teeth.

The ideal candidate for a dental implant will be in good oral health, free of periodontal disease, possessing healthy gums, and having adequate bone in his or her jaw to support the implant’s artificial root.

These are just a few of dental implant’s advantages:

• They have an extremely natural look and feel just like real teeth!

• They won’t interfere with neighboring teeth.

• They’re permanent and stable

• They have an extremely high success rate, and are considered an excellent option for replacing a tooth.
