Dental implants are a type of prosthetic tooth replacement, and are considered the ideal option for replacing missing teeth. This is because they replace your entire tooth, and not simply the crowns of the missing tooth or teeth. Implants are designed to replace your tooth roots, giving you a solution that promotes your long-term oral health and function by stimulating your supporting bone, just like your natural teeth.

Implants consist of two main parts – the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post is a small screw made of a biocompatible material. This post is inserted into your jawbone to replace your tooth root, anchoring the implant to your jawbone and providing a stable foundation for your teeth and smile. The implant restoration caps the post, replacing the crowns of your teeth to complete your treatment and give you back a beautiful smile. Depending on your individual needs and how many teeth you are replacing, this restoration could be a single crown, a dental bridge, or a complete or partial denture. Our dentists will discuss your options with you prior to your treatment to determine which type of restoration is right for you.

Your implant treatment begins with an implant placement surgery in which your implant post is inserted into the jawbone. After you have recovered from this procedure our dentists will work with you to design and create your implant restoration. Your final result should look, feel and function exactly like your original teeth, and like your original teeth, it is intended to last a lifetime. Keep in mind that your dental implants will require the same care as your original teeth, including daily brushing and flossing as well as visits to our dentists for routine preventive care.
