Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most modern method of replacing a missing tooth or multiple teeth. Gaps formed by missing teeth can cause bone loss, worsen the periodontal disease, and infections that may affect a person’s ability to eat or speak.
What is a Dental Implant?
A surgically implanted teeth into the jaw to restore a person's ability to chew or their appearance.
What do they do?
Fixes missing teeth, tooth decay, failed root canals, and tooth infections.
How long do Implants take?
Typically the entire process takes from 5 to 8 months. As you will see, this is a little different for people getting full mouth dentures. The process can be faster for those getting a whole new set of teeth.
How long do they last?
The average lifespan of a dental implant is anywhere from 10 -30 years.
In addition to their aesthetic purposes, dental implants offer additional health benefits, allowing tooth replacement without affecting the adjacent teeth. Additionally, dental implants can support a bridge and eliminate the need for removable partial dentures.

AfterThe most modern method in replacing missing teeth:
It is essential to fill in any gaps as soon as possible to prevent the adjacent and opposing teeth from shifting positions or causing further damage. No one likes the idea that their smile will be incomplete. We all rely on every one of our teeth to eat, speak, smile and look beautiful.
“I wanted to thank you for providing sustainable toothbrushes and floss to my daughter at her visit last week. I am deeply grateful that you are making this commitment! I imagine it might be more expensive to give out these products instead of plastic ones, so it means a lot to me.”
