Dental Implants

Dental Implants area a wonderful technological advancement that feel and look just like your own teeth. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since neighboring teeth do not have to be ground down.

You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing.

If you have lost one or more of your teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news. Dental Implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own!

The tooth is removed and replaced by immediate placement of an implant. While waiting till the implant fuses with the bone, patient's own tooth is used following extraction (next photo).

Patient's own tooth (crown and part of root) is temporarily used and attached to orthodontic wire to fill the space, to preserve the contour of the gum tissue and to avoid collapse and shrinkage of the gum tissue following extraction.

Final crown is placed on implant.
