If you have missing teeth, damaged teeth, or teeth that need to be replaced, dental implants may be the solution. A small anchor is placed in your bone where the missing tooth root would normally be. This implant has a porous surface to it and after a few months, your bone actually attaches to the implant, securing it in place. If you lack adequate bone, we can perform bone grafting to increase the amount of bone in the area. Once the implant is secure, we create a custom crown and attach this to your implant by seating it on top of a titanium post called an abutment, securing everything in place. Your new implant will then not only look like a real tooth, but you can get back to eating just like you do with your natural teeth!
