Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth. They can also support an implant bridge or denture.

 In this procedure, a small titanium post is surgically positioned in the bone; the bone grows around the post, forming a tight connection.

Once the implant is firmly integrated (approximately 2 months), the dentist attaches the replacement to the top of the post.

 Implants have the following advantages over bridge work:

• Most importantly, the implant preserves the jaw bone.
• It does not require the adjacent teeth for support.
• It offers the most natural appearance and function.
