Dental Implants

Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth! Oftentimes, it is very difficult for people to tell that you have a replacement tooth because implants are so esthetic.

Dental implants don't sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like more traditional treatment options because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant.

Dental implants are secure, allowing you to forget the annoying worries of dentures.

Success rates for dental implants are highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for reliable tooth replacement.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that we place into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge without affecting adjacent teeth while eliminating the need for removable partial dentures. They can also be used to support a denture in order to make it more comfortable and secure.

If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, dental implants may be a tremendous option for you. Working in close cooperation with a well trained restorative dentist along with proper patient maintenance, we can provide implants to last a lifetime.

Before Treatment
This patient presented with a fractured tooth which required extraction. The fracture is marked with an arrow. An implant was selected as the optimal option for replacement of the tooth.

 Following Extraction
Healing was very favorable following extraction of the fractured tooth and a ridge preservation procedure.

Final Implant Restoration
High quality crown, healthy tissues, and excellent patient satisfaction.

Future Implant Site
This patient's tooth was removed because of extensive resorption.

 Final Implant Restoration
Note the healthy appearance of tissues and implant crown. The spacing matches the opposite side, and the patient was very pleased with the result.

The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general health with healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease. Adequate bone is needed to support the implant.

As periodontists, we specialize in precisely these areas, and we are ideal members of your dental implant team. We work closely with other dental professionals, and we have the special knowledge and training that you need to have teeth that look and feel just like your own.
