What is a dental implant?
Implants are dentistry’s most sophisticated and
cutting-edge answer to an old problem – tooth loss caused by injury, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants are changing the way people live! People can actually “Speak with their Smile today”.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
In general, dental implants may be right for you if you:
Have one or more missing teeth

Have adequate bone to secure the implants, or are able to have a bone grafting procedure
Have healthy oral tissues
Don't have health conditions that will impair bone healing
Are unable or unwilling to wear dentures

Are willing to commit several months to the process
