DENTAL IMPLANTS

Offering un-paralleled strength and long lasting function, Dental Implants are a near permanent solution to missing or damaged teeth. We have many options when it comes to choosing the right implant for you.

Dental implants are small titanium or ceramic posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where there is a missing tooth. There are several applications for implants in dentistry, including:

• Single Dental Implant
• Implant-Supported Bridge
• Locator Implants for Overdentures

Along with replacing single missing teeth, they can also be used to help fill longer spans of missing teeth, and they can help to secure dentures in the mouth.

Once it is determined that implants are the right option for you, and after your implants have been placed, our doctors can build the artificial, natural- looking restorations which we place on top of the posts that are anchored into your jaw. These restorations look exactly like natural teeth and function like them as well. The ultimate goal of an implant is to improve overall function, and contribute to improving the overall aesthetics of your smile.

There are several materials your restoration can be made out of. They offer varying degrees of strength and resilience which all contribute to the function and wear of the implant.

Patients who are having implants placed will be happy to know that we offer sedation options to maximize the comfort of their visit; including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. Many people express a degree of anxiety when it comes to any kind of dental procedure, which is why we are pleased to offer two forms of sedation within our practice, in order to find the sedation solution that fits your exact needs.
