Dental implants replace teeth that have been missing since birth or have been lost due to gum disease, infection, trauma, or decay. Implants are surgically attached to the jawbone, and become a permanent part of your mouth. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth because they are made of a metal that is highly compatible with the jawbone. As a result, the implant (a small post that protrudes from the gum) is able to fuse easily with the underlying bone. See our Smile Gallery for an illustration.

A highly experienced oral surgeon or periodontist recommended by our office will perform the surgical procedure for your implant. We will partner with your surgeon to follow your treatment to the restorative phase. You will then return to our dental office to complete the implant procedure. This will be done by attaching natural and functional tooth structures to the implant components, providing you once with the comfort and confidence that accompanies a beautiful smile.
