If you have missing teeth or are unhappy with removable bridgework, you may be an excellent candidate for dental implants. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root which we surgically place in the jawbone to substitute for a missing tooth.
Implants provide a stable foundation on which replacement teeth can be firmly attached. Implants have improved the quality of life for thousands of people, restoring natural facial structure which often suffers as a result of missing teeth, and improving self confidence with teeth that are permanent, safe and reliable. Permanent fixed crowns and bridgework placed over the implants, as well as removable partial and full dentures that anchor into the implants, all look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

Who is a Candidate for Implant Dentistry?
Young people who have lost teeth through accidents, adults who have suffered tooth loss from decay or periodontal disease, or seniors who are tired of ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures, all can benefit from the freedom and comfort of implants. If you are wondering if you might be a candidate for dental implant reconstruction, consider the following questions...
1. Are you missing one or more natural teeth? 2. Are you uncomfortable with removable partial or complete dentures? 3. Have you noticed any unattractive changes in your facial features?
