Dental implants are post surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone to replace missing natural teeth or to support a full set of dentures. They are made of titanium (a strong, lightweight metal) and other materials.

Treatment will depend on your personal case and usually takes 3 to 6 months.

​

Implants offer firm support to natural teeth and have many benefits, including:

• Implants will not slip or shift in your mouth. This is very important for eating and speaking normally.

• Implants feel more natural than removable partial or conventional complete dentures because of their secure fit.

• A single tooth implant is a stand-alone unit and does not involve treating the teeth next to it.

• Implants help to preserve the bone after teeth are lost or removed.

• Implants are a good value. They may seem like a more expensive option at first, but they can last a lifetime if you take good care of them.
