Dental Implants

Feel and function like natural teeth

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With implants, the person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
