What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are placed when both the tooth and the root of the tooth are degraded or missing. A dental implant is simply a replacement of the anchoring root and the reconstruction of the missing tooth.
Dental implants are usually made from titanium posts that are placed directly onto the jaw and anchor a permanent crown. Although dental implants have been around for a long time, they are now a well established practice.

How It Helps You
One of the first places people look when you meet them is at your mouth and smile! What a confidence boost it is to have a great smile, and your confidence directly relates to how feel both personally and professionally. Dark spaces caused by missing teeth detract from a great smile.
Dental implants are remarkably natural; so natural, you might even forget that you lost a tooth! The shape and coloration of the tooth are matched exactly or improved. They are also incredibly secure and therefore very good alternatives to dentures or perfect for anchoring dentures so they won’t slip. They also increase surface area and chewing force over dentures.
