dental implants

A dental implant can be used to restore a single tooth or multiple teeth. Dental implants involve the placement of a surgical grade titanium post directly into the jawbone by one of the doctor's trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation for the attachment of a crown or a bridge that is custom created for you. Some of the biggest advantages of implants are that they are more similar to your natural tooth, adjacent teeth do not have to be involved in the procedure, and implants may help decrease or prevent shrinkage of your jawbone that can occur from tooth loss.

Implants can be used to replace missing teeth in the back of the mouth as well as the front. Here the patient was missing a lower molar, and her only alternative was an Implant. The Implant stabilized her bite by not allowing the upper tooth to drop down over time.
