Dental Implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. For over 30 years, dental implants have brought naturally beautiful, confident smiles to patients. A dental implant is a small titanium screw or cylinder which is surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone. The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth, providing an anchor for your new tooth/teeth. Many patients choose dental implants over other procedures, because the result is a natural appearance which is permanent.A lifestyle improvement

The Permanent Solution
Dental implants offer solutions for all types of tooth replacements.
Single tooth and multiple tooth replacement
Because dental implants replace the tooth root and serve as an anchor, your new tooth/teeth are secured directly on the implant. This treatment allows teeth to be restored naturally, without harming or involving your surrounding teeth.
Small metal posts are connected to the implant, allowing the replacement tooth to be permanently secured with dental cement or a small screw.
Implant supported dentures
Dental implants can also be placed to permanently anchor and support partial or full dentures, eliminating the need for dental adhesives. Enjoy having the confidence to eat the foods you previously avoided.
Dentures can be supported with either a bar/clip or ball/socket attachment for removal, allowing for regular cleaning.
Traditional forms of treatment
Other options damage healthy teeth
Other options, such as traditional crown and bridge procedures, may involve cutting down healthy adjacent teeth to anchor the restoration.
Other options are uncomfortalbe
Appliances that require adhesives may be uncomfortable and may slip while talking or eating. Some foods must be permanently eliminated from your diet. In addition, metal clasps may be visible, resulting in poor esthetics.
Treatment advancements
Recent innovations like the development of OSSEOTITE ® implants have greatly improved implant procedures. This implant has been treated with a patented surface to enhance healing in less time. OSSEOTITE has an overall success rate of 98.4% and is proven to reduce treatment time to as little as two months.
Treatment ease
Your dentist will perform a complete examination involving x-rays to determine if implants are right for you. Once your specific needs are assessed, your doctor will schedule an appointment for you to come in for a consultation. Together, you will discuss your options and decide which treatment plan is best for you. Depending on your needs, your treatment may be complete in three steps.
Step 1- The Surgeon places an OSSEOTITE implant(s) into your jawbone. The implant replaces the natural tooth root and provides structural support.
Step 2- The Restoring Doctor will make models of your mouth. The models will be sent to the laboratory to create your replacement tooth/teeth.
Step 3- The Restoring Doctor will attach your replacement tooth/teeth. The result is the look and feel of natural teeth. Chewing and speech is restored or improved, while bone structure is preserved.
