Dental implants are known as your third set of permanent teeth. They are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums to support replacement teeth mounted onto them.

 

The dental implants are made of titanium, which fuses to your jawbone to provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants will not slip or shift in your mouth - an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges as well as individual crowns placed over implants feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.

​

To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
