Dental Implants

Dental implants are becoming more popular in today's dental society for a number of reasons. Implants are utilized to offer patients a foundation for new restorative teeth where natural teeth are missing or have been extracted. The implant offers the patient the opportunity to regain normal function of the tooth without being forced to resort to a bridge or a denture.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that acts a substitute for the root of a missing tooth. Overtime the implant "bonds" with the bone and acts as an anchor for the replacement tooth (or crown).
