What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically embedded into the jawbone. Once healed, they support a crown, bridge, or denture providing a long-term, stable, and functional replacement for missing teeth.
Why choose implants?
- Prevent bone loss
- Restore chewing power
- Improve speech and facial symmetry
- Replace dentures with a fixed solution
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
We offer several implant systems depending on your dental needs:
- Single-Tooth Implants: Ideal for one missing tooth paired with a natural-looking crown.
- Multiple Implants: Replace several teeth with individually placed implants or implant-supported bridges.
- All-on-4 Implants: Full-arch replacement using 4 implants and a fixed hybrid bridge ideal for patients with significant tooth loss.
- Implant-Retained Overdentures: Removable dentures that clip onto implants for added security.
- Immediate/Same-Day Implants: Teeth removed and replaced with implants in a single visit when possible.
