If you’re missing one or more teeth, implants are usually the best way to give you back what you’ve lost. Made from titanium, and placed into living bone—just like a natural tooth’s root—dental implants are a strong, long-lasting solution.
Single implants
A single dental implant is a great way to restore your ability to chew and talk, protect the health of adjacent teeth, and of course fill that gap in your smile. With a single implant we surgically place a titanium implant in your jaw, attach a piece called an abutment, and then attach a prosthetic tooth to the abutment. You can expect your new implant to last decades, if not a lifetime.
Multiple implants
For patients who have several missing teeth in a row, we typically don’t replace them all with individual implants. Rather, we’ll place an implant at both ends of the gap, and then use a dental bridge between the implants. It’s a great way to secure a bridge without have to rely on the natural teeth as anchor points.
