Dental Implants

Feel And Function Like Natural Teeth

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Regaining the ability to eat virtually anything, you can once again smile with confidence. The implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants are changing the way people live!
