Dental implants are the number one way we replace missing teeth. A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed in to the jaw bone in the area of a missing tooth. After the healing process is completed, we are able to use the implant to place a crown on top to restore the functionality and esthetics of the missing tooth. More than one implant can be used to fabricate an implant bridge or even implant-retained dentures!

Did you know that dental implants also prevent bone loss? Without a natural tooth or a dental implant in place, the bone resorbs.  The most bone you have is right now! That is why implants are the number one way we replace missing teeth!
