What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a restoration option for a missing tooth. It’s essentially an artificial root that stimulates your jawbone, preventing bone loss. Implants are more expensive than alternatives such as bridges or partial dentures, but they are durable, long-lasting, and will drastically improve your oral health.

The Dental Implant Procedure
There are a couple of steps that need to be taken before the implants are placed. First, if your tooth needs to be extracted, we will need to take care of that first. We will also need to determine if your jawbone is strong enough to support implants.
Once these are taken care of, the implant will be placed in your gum where the original tooth root would have been. We will then cap the implant with a crown, which will be matched to the color, shape, and size of your natural tooth. No one will even be able to tell your tooth is missing!
