Dental Implants

What they are. Dental implants are surgical-grade artificial "roots" that can support crowns, partials or dentures.

When and why they're needed. Dental implants are a safe, long-lasting option for patients who require the replacement of a single tooth or a total dental rehabilitation. This "root" is placed in the bone of the jaws, just like a natural tooth root. After appropriate healing, a post and crown can be made to replace a single tooth or - in the case of multiple missing teeth- a bridge, partial denture or full denture can be fabricated.
