Oral Implants

Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to speak, smile and eat again with confidence and comfort, there is great news.  Dental implants are tooth replacements that look and feel similar to natural teeth.  Implants are an ideal option for people in good general health.  Traditionally, the treatment of choice to replace a missing tooth or teeth is either a bridge or removable denture.  The tooth structure of the natural tooth must be sacrificed in order to place a bridge.  This may lead to sensitivity, decay, or root canal involvement.  Dentures have clasps that are visible when smiling and may slip when talking or eating.
