Implants

A dental implant is the ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth.   A dental implant is a titanium cylinder surgically positioned into the jaw to replace the root of a tooth.  Once the implant is in place and stable, a replacement tooth may be added.  Implants may also serve as anchors to secure partial or full dentures.  Implants are a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not require grinding down the adjacent teeth for support.
