Missing teeth don’t have to mean a lifetime of loose dentures or a self-conscious smile. Dental implants replace the tooth root itself, giving you a permanent, natural-looking, natural-feeling result that lets you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
When a single tooth is missing or has been extracted, a titanium implant post is placed directly into the jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. Once the bone fully heals around the implant, we attach an abutment and a custom-matched crown — a result that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth, without altering the healthy teeth on either side.
If you’re missing several teeth or a full arch, implants can anchor a fixed bridge or a full denture instead of a single crown. Implant-supported bridges typically rely on two or more posts, while a full-arch replacement uses four or more — both are dramatically more stable than a removable denture, since there’s no adhesive or clasp holding them in place.
