Dental Implants offer a permanent way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants provide a naturally beautiful smile. A dental implant is a small fixture that is placed in the jaw bone. Dental Implants replace roots of the missing teeth which support your new teeth. They are natural, comfortable and permanent. Restoring a beautiful smile means more than restoring teeth, it means improving your quality of life.


Small metal posts are connected to the implant, allowing the replacement tooth to be permanently secured with dental cement or a small screw.

This permanent solution improves speech, chewing, appearance, confidence, and most of all, life style.

Single-Multiple Tooth Replacement
Because dental implants replace the tooth root and serve as an anchor, your new teeth are secured directly to the implant. This treatment allows teeth to be restored naturally, without harming or involving your surrounding teeth.


Actual Single Tooth Replacement

Implant Supported Dentures
Dental Implants can also be placed to permanently anchor and support partial or full dentures, eliminating the need for dental adhesives.


Dentures can be supported with either a bar/clip or ball socket attachment for removal, allowing for regular cleaning.

Implants are designed to replace the root of a missing tooth and can be used to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. The root-form implant is the most common type and basically consists of three main components:

Implant screw - This part of the implant is made of titanium and is surgically placed in the bone. Titanium is accepted by the body extremely well and fuses with the bone (called osseointegration) during the healing process.
Abutment - This is a metal collar that attaches to the top of the implant screw and is the base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Crown - The crown is the manufactured tooth that fits on top of the abutment. Bridges and dentures can also be secured to the abutment. The placement of the crown, bridge, or denture is the final step of the implant process.
