Dental Implants

There are many different reasons for tooth loss, including decay, gum disease or trauma.  Tooth loss can affect function and cause people to feel self-conscious.  Dental implants can provide a solution by replacing missing teeth.  

A Dental Implant is a 'titanium screw' that acts as an artificial tooth root.  The implant is placed into the jaw bone and over time the jawbone grows around the implant (integration) to hold it securely in place.  An implant crown is then attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth and restore aesthetics and function.  Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth in the mouth.
