Dental Implants

What makes a tree sturdy and strong? The roots! Your teeth have roots as well, and these tooth roots keep your teeth stable and in place. When you lose teeth, you lose the roots, too, and most forms of tooth replacement don’t include replacing the roots – except dental implants.

Dental implants replace the missing tooth roots using titanium posts implanted into the jaw bone. Other forms of tooth replacement are held in place using adhesive creams or dental crowns placed over remaining teeth. Because dental implants are held in place by actual prosthetic tooth roots, they provide greater stabilization and increased comfort. They also allow us to conserve more of your remaining teeth, as no teeth need to be prepared for crown placement.
