Dental Implants

Restoring Your Smile’s Health, Appearance, and Function

In addition to the cosmetic concerns that arise with the absence of one or more teeth, gaps can cause functional complications and negatively affect your smile’s structure. For instance, failing to replace lost teeth can lead to tooth migration and even a reduction in bone density. Though traditional prostheses such as dentures and bridges may be able to address appearance and some function, they are unable to stimulate the jaw and address structural concerns. For several patients, the most effective and beneficial way to address all of these issues is through implant dentistry.

A dental implant consists of a biocompatible post and an implant restoration such as a crown, secured via abutment. The posts are carefully and strategically placed in the jaw, where they will fuse with the surrounding bone as they heal. This provides your implant restoration the stability to support the pressure of your bite and keeps the jawbone strong by restoring stimulation.

With custom in-office implant placement, your dental prosthesis can provide more comprehensive treatment and support for your smile. Our team will discuss your traditional and/or implant-retained prosthetic options–such as All-on-4 for total ridge loss–as well as plan your treatment timeline.
