A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a crown, bridge, or denture, The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration where materials such as titanium, form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed, so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant.

DENTAL IMPLANTS PLACED HERE! Q: Do I need to be referred to a specialist for dental implants?
A: No! We're pleased to offer the convenience of dental implant surgery, in most cases, right here in our office, where we know your dental history, and where you're familiar with the staff and are comfortable and confident with our services.


Q: Am I a candidate for dental implants?
A: If you're missing one or more teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. A dental implant along with a crown, can replace a missing tooth in the most natural-looking and naturally functioning way. Dental implants are practical even if you're missing all your teeth, as they can be used to anchor your dentures.
