When your smile has a few unsightly gaps, dental implants can replace the look and function of your natural teeth. For over 40 years, dental implants have been successfully used in millions of people. By acting as a substitute tooth root, an implant provides a stable foundation for the replacement tooth that stays securely in place allowing you to speak, eat and smile with confidence.

A dental implant consists of a small titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone to form the foundation that supports the replacement tooth or teeth. An abutment, usually ceramic or titanium, is placed into the implant to act as a "post" on which the crown or bridge will be secured. Once the implant and abutment are in place, the crown, bridge or full denture can be securely attached.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

Dental implants can have many advantages when compared to traditional crown and bridge solutions.

The look, feel and function are closest to that of your natural teeth.
Your healthy teeth do not need to be ground down.
Anchoring the implant in the jawbone stimulates bone tissue and gums, ensuring an attractive result while maintaining your facial structure.
Dentures do not require any adhesives.
Eliminates the discomfort and insecurity often associated with loose, ill-fitting dentures.

When you are ready for a dental implant, we will develop a solution tailored to your needs. Your general state of health, and the quality and quantity of your bone tissue will be taken into account. Implants come in various lengths and widths to best correspond to your bone tissue and jaw size.

Our state-of-the-art computer-guided placement technology, Facilitate™, helps us to precisely and accurately place your implant optimizing your safety, increasing your satisfaction and reducing the time needed for the implant procedure.

The procedure for placing an implant is usually carried out under a local anesthetic. In most cases, you can leave the dentist's office directly after the treatment. The design of these dental implants allows for shorter healing times, reduced chair time and long-term aesthetic results that will keep you smiling.

Post-Treatment Care:

As with your natural teeth, proper hygiene and daily care helps to ensure the long-term success of your treatment outcome. Care instructions provided by your dentist should be carefully followed.
