Dental implants are dental restorations for replacing missing a tooth or teeth. An implant restores the entire function and form of the missing tooth to improve your dental and oral health and enhance your confidence and smile. A dental implant has a titanium screw that the dental surgeon places directly in the jawbone. The screw gradually fuses to the jawbone and can support removable dentures, bridges, and crowns. If all the teeth or several are missing, you can get the all-on-6 or all-on-4 dental implants that replace an entire arch using only four or six dental implants.

Dental implant treatment can replace a missing tooth or several missing teeth. If the teeth are missing, the jawbone gradually resorbs, and the traditional treatment options for missing teeth, such as fixed bridges and removable dentures, do not prevent bone loss. Dentures are also uncomfortable and unstable, leading to soreness, while fitting dental bridges require filing down the healthy teeth. However, dental implants are durable and strong. They also feel and look like your natural teeth, and the fitting process does not damage existing teeth.

You can undergo a dental implant procedure if one, all, or several of your teeth are: Lost Missing Broken or cracked Decayed Damaged The dentist will check if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants during your initial consultation.
