Dental implants are made of medicinal grade titanium, which is the same material used in hip and knee replacements. These implants are placed in areas where teeth are missing and serve as anchors for new teeth. Single tooth implants are not attached to existing natural teeth and therefore can be flossed normally.
One of the biggest advantages of implants is that they preserve the supporting bone just like your natural root does. Without this stimulation, the bone shrinks and resorbs over time. Implants can also be used to support full or partial dentures giving them enhanced stability and retention.
We partner with highly qualified professionals who place the implants. After a 4 to 6 month healing time, the final restoration is placed.
