Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that their teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are small titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for the final crown. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental implants are truly changing the way people live. Many of our patients are former denture wearers and had previously been forced to limit their diets to soft, mushy foods that didn’t interfere with their dentures. After dental implants, they are pleased to bite into an apple, chew steak, eat corn on the cob and other foods that they had once loved to eat. Many of our patients have reported that Implants have changed their lives by restoring the ability to eat, laugh and smile with confidence again.
