Dental implants are lasting, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace missing teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable. A period of healing is then often required to allow the bone to begin to bond with the biocompatible post.

Following this healing period, our dentist will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post. With a single-tooth implant, this restoration will be a dental crown. The implant crown will be custom made to fit your smile perfectly, restoring your beautiful smile and finishing your implant treatment so that you can once again speak, eat and smile with confidence.

Replacing a missing tooth can restore your smile to optimal health, function and appearance. A dental implant is a great option for restoring your smile because the implant is designed to look, function and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime.
