Dental Implants
Titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots and anchor natural looking, lasting replacement teeth.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It anchors a crown, bridge, or denture that looks and works like a natural tooth.
The implant is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months. Once healed, a custom crown or other restoration is attached on top.
Implants restore full chewing strength, keep nearby teeth and bone healthy, and look completely natural, all without affecting the surrounding teeth.
