What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a permanent replacement for your damaged or missing tooth. We surgically position a steel “tooth root” into the jawbone below the gumline. Once your implant heals and securely fuses to the jawbone, we create a natural looking crown as a cap.
Your new tooth will look, feel, and function just like your natural tooth!
Benefits of a Dental Implant
- Go ahead and bite into an apple or corn on the cob! Permanent dental implants are as strong as real teeth.
- No adhesive or soaking is necessary. You brush and floss just like you would with your original teeth.
- Unlike a denture or bridge, a dental implant does not require the support of the surrounding teeth.
