Dental Implants for Permanent Tooth Replacement
Missing teeth affects confidence and the ability to chew comfortably. Luckily, modern dental implants are the closest solution to natural teeth. This restorative dental treatment consists of a titanium post is placed into the jawbone, then topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a real tooth.
Unlike dentures or bridges that may need replacement every 5 to 10 years, implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Our office can provide the surgical and restorative phases of implant treatment under one roof. No referrals to outside specialists are needed.
