Dental Implants are small, titanium, screw-shaped threaded cylinders that are placed into the jaw. They are used to replace one or multiple missing teeth, or to stabilize dentures. A crown, with the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth is then affixed to an abutment which is connected to the implant

What are the benefits of implants?

• There is a significant improvement in the ability to chew and eat food for patients who have implant-supported or retained dentures, as opposed to standard or conventional (free-floating) dentures.
• Dental Implants do not decay.
• Implants help to preserve adjacent natural teeth.
• Implant-supported crowns and bridges typically have a longer functioning life than conventional crowns and bridges placed over natural tooth structure.
