Implants

Implants are one option for replacing one or more missing teeth.  They look, feel, and function like your real teeth.

They are often the best alternative when the teeth on either side of the lost tooth are in their natural state, or when there are no teeth near the lost tooth.  They can also be used to stabilize full or partial dentures.

We work closely with the oral surgeon or periodontist who places the implant.  It is placed in the bone, where the root of the tooth used to be.  We then used the implant as the anchor to support the porcelain crown, bridge, or denture which we place on top of it.

Not all patients are candidates for implants.  Call our office to schedule an appointment for an evaluation.  We will discuss the process, analyze your needs, and can provide referrals to qualified surgeons.
