Replace lost or missing teeth by anchoring in your jaw just like the roots of your natural teeth. Dental implants are usually your best option to restore the healthy look and function of your teeth. If you have missing teeth, it is crucial to replace them. Without all your teeth, chewing and eating can destabilize your bite and cause you discomfort. When teeth are missing, your mouth can shift and even cause your face to look older. Implants are a great way to replace your missing teeth and, if properly maintained, can last a lifetime!

An implant is a new tooth made of metal and porcelain that looks and functions just like your natural tooth. It’s composed of two main parts: One is the titanium implant body that takes the place of the missing root, and the second part is the tooth-colored crown that is cemented on top of the implant. With periodontal treatment, you can smile confidently while knowing that no one will ever suspect you have a replacement tooth.

In addition to tooth replacement, implants may be used to anchor dentures  that tend to shift when you talk or chew. For patients with removable partial dentures, implants can replace missing teeth so that you have a more comfortable, natural looking smile.
