Dental Implants

If you are looking for a permanent solution to replace missing or damaged teeth, talk to your dentist about dental implants. Dental implants are a permanent solution and can be used instead of other temporary options, such as dental crowns and bridges.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant consists of a titanium post that is permanently attached to the jaw bone and functions in the same way as a tooth root. An abutment is fitted to the post, which protrudes above the gum line and holds the replacement tooth— a dental crown in place.

How to Care for Your Dental Implant

Dental implants are easy to maintain by following regular hygiene procedures. Brush your teeth twice a day, and be sure to floss to avoid food buildup between the teeth and gumline. We also recommend visiting your dentist at least once a year for a routine checkup and professional cleaning.
