Dental Implants

Dental implant therapy is a modern solution for missing teeth that offers a natural-looking, long-lasting, and functional replacement for individual or multiple missing teeth. The treatment involves the surgical placement of a small titanium post, which acts as an artificial tooth root; the post is then topped with a custom-made crown or bridge, creating a seamless and durable restoration that looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Your dentist can place dental implants as part of the process to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. A dental implant, together with a tooth replacement such as a crown or bridge, looks and feels much like a natural tooth.

The dental implant process typically involves several stages, including an initial consultation and examination, implant placement surgery, healing and osseointegration (fusion of implant with jawbone), and finally, attachment of the crown or bridge. The entire process may take several months to complete, depending on the patient’s individual needs and oral health.
Dental implant therapy offers several benefits over other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. Implants are long lasting and can be cared for quite easily with regular oral hygiene. Implants also prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur with missing teeth, and they also provide superior support and stability for adjacent teeth.
If you are interested in dental implant therapy, please ask for a consult and we will assess your oral health and determine if dental implants are the best option for you.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can provide a beautiful and long-lasting smile for years to come.
