DENTAL IMPLANTS are used to replace single or multiple teeth where the root structure
is missing or inadequate to support a crown or bridge. Though there have been many shapes
and forms utilized over the years, the most recent type is of a titanium based screw like
design with a coating to promote integration into the bone. This is a simple surgery and
can be perform under local anesthesia much like a routine filling or extraction. Though not
every patient is a candidate for this type of service, many people are realizing the benefits
of implants. Some insurance companies are also beginning to come on board.
Implants can offer the following:
- Lower dentures with secure retention
- Upper “hybrid” implant supported upper dentures
- An “fixed” alternative to partial dentures
- Single and multiple tooth replacement
- a decay free root with a precision matched restoration

good health, and implant just might be a solution to return your smile to its most natural
feel. We never charge for a consult so please feel free to write or make an appointment
