Discover the Permanent and Natural Way to Replace Missing, Broken, or Damaged Teeth.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to disease, injury, or extraction, a dental implant fills the gap and restores your smile. This medical-grade implant is made of strong and resistant biocompatible material and takes the place of your tooth’s root. The implant strengthens your jawbone and provides a stable foundation for the visible portion of your implant — which may be a crown, dental bridge, or fixed denture.

Types of Dental Implants

Single Implants

Single dental implants are designed to replace individual missing teeth, providing a permanent and stable solution. The implant consists of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root. Once the post is securely embedded and osseointegration (the process where the bone grows around the implant) has occurred, an abutment is attached to the post. This abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the final restoration. The restoration, typically a crown made of porcelain or ceramic, is custom-made to match the color and shape of the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetic appearance.

Implant Bridges

Implant bridges are used to replace multiple missing teeth, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dental bridges or dentures. Unlike single implants, implant bridges do not require an implant for each missing tooth. Instead, a few strategically placed implants can support a bridge spanning the gap. These implants, usually made of titanium, are surgically placed into the jawbone. After the implants have successfully integrated with the bone, abutments are attached to the implant posts. The bridge, which consists of several crowns fused together, is then placed onto these abutments.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of a dental implant varies depending on factors like whether a tooth extraction is needed, the location of the implant, number of implants needed, the current health of your teeth and jaw, and what kind of final restoration is needed.
