Dental implants are a reliable and natural-looking option for replacing one or more missing teeth. An implant is placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root and can support a crown, bridge, or other dental restoration.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant restoration typically consists of three components: the implant itself, which is placed in the jawbone; an abutment that connects to the implant; and the final restoration that replaces the visible portion of the missing tooth. Depending on your needs, implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or support a larger restoration.

Who Is a Candidate?

Dental implants may be an option for many patients who are missing one or more teeth. Your oral health, overall health, available bone, gum health, and the location of the missing tooth are evaluated before treatment is recommended.

Personalized Implant Treatment

Every implant case is different. Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation and careful planning to determine the appropriate approach for your individual situation. Depending on the case, treatment may involve replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or using implants as part of a more comprehensive restoration.
