Dental implants are small titanium fixtures that are placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw. The implants bond with the bone and act as an anchor for replacement teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth. Several options are available to restore your lost teeth; your dentist will discuss these with you in detail.

Patients who have chosen implant supported teeth report they are happy and comfortable for the first time since the loss of their original teeth.
Anyone missing teeth is a candidate for dental implants. A consultation with your dentist will clarify what type of treatment you require. Some cases can be relatively simple. All facts of your imsplant treatment will be discussed with you in detail after a thorough diagnosis is made.
Your diagnosis for dental implant treatment will include x-rays, study models, measurements, clinical exams and an evaluation of your medical conditions.
