Dental Implants

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

Implants are a team effort between an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and a Restorative Dentist. While Dr. Howerton, Dr. Hopkin and Dr. Kennedy perform the actual dental implant surgery, and initial tooth extractions and bone grafting if necessary, the restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis.

Our office understands and speaks multiple languages including English, Russian, and Spanish.
