Dental Implants
You Don’t Have to Live with Damaged Teeth!
Are you embarrassed because you have missing or damaged teeth? You are not alone. Over 100 million adults are missing teeth.
Dental implants can solve the problem of missing teeth, or might be the last step after your tooth extraction. In the implant process, a small, sturdy, titanium post is placed into your upper or lower jaw bone to provide structure. Once the bone grows around the implant, it can hold a crown, bridge or over-denture, just like the roots that hold your natural teeth in place.
Maintenance for implants is just like caring for your teeth; they require brushing, flossing and regular check-ups with your dentist. If you take these these steps, your implants can last a lifetime.
