Dental Implants

Dental implants are an integral part of today's dentistry. The procedure requires attention to details and specialized training.

Advanced technology and improved procedures now make us confident that we can get excellent long-term results. Many research studies have shown that modern implants, when carefully placed and restored, may last a lifetime.

Today dental implants are made of titanium which has been used successfully for over 30 years as orthopedic knees and hip replacements.

There are two main types of dental implants, one is placed above the bone, the other is placed in the bone. The most common one is placed in the bone.. The bone and implant will grow together, "Osseointegration". The implant is the new base for the new crown, bridge or denture. Dental implants are the best next to your own teeth.

How can Implants be used?

Implants can be used to replace dentures, bridges or missing individual teeth. They can be used as anchors to help move and straighten other teeth with orthodontics. Dental implants are quite versatile and helpful in many treatment conditions.
