Dental implants are the closest replacement to a natural tooth. A dental implant is a metallic titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone. Like other titanium implants, such as hip replacements, the titanium integrates into the bone and creates a solid foundation for us to build on. We use this foundation for a variety of restorations such as a single tooth replacement or to anchor bridges or dentures. An implant is a restoration that is not for everyone, so please schedule an appointment with our implant specialist to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.
