DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is an ideal and preferred way to restore a single missing tooth. A dental implant is an artificial root that is implanted into the jaw. Once the implant has been placed and has integrated with the bone, a replacement tooth/bridge is placed on top. They look and function as your natural teeth.

Implants provide superior benefits to other tooth replacement options:

1. They can last a lifetime.
2. They are independent of adjacent teeth meaning that neighboring teeth do not require prepping as is the case with bridges.
