Implants

While we all hope our natural teeth will last a lifetime, tooth loss is sometimes unavoidable. For individuals with damaged, failing, or missing teeth, dental implants offer a long-term solution that closely mimics the look and function of natural teeth. Implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing the deterioration that typically occurs when a tooth is missing.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root, replacing a missing or extracted tooth. This implant provides a stable foundation for a custom-made porcelain crown or bridge, effectively filling the gap left behind.

Why Might You Need a Dental Implant?

There are several reasons why tooth replacement may be necessary, including:

• Tooth loss, which can lead to misalignment

• Genetic dental conditions that affect tooth development

• Gum disease that compromises oral health

• Failed root canals requiring further intervention

• Excessive wear and tear over time

• Trauma or injury from accidents

• Severe tooth decay beyond repair

Dental implants provide a durable, natural-looking solution to restore both function and confidence in your smile.
