Dental Implants
Dental Implants offer incomparable benefits for tooth replacement with the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Dental Implants form a strong foundation for tooth replacement, keep the jaw bone healthy, and are the most comfortable and permanent solution to replace missing teeth.
A dental implant is a root shaped fixture placed in the bone made of medical grade titanium. The jaw bone fuses to the implant through a healing process called osseointegration. This process takes 3-4 months and provides the stable foundation for the referring dentist to place the restoration. This restoration could be a crown, bridge, or overdenture.

Bone Grafting
A bone graft may be necessary if there is not enough bone present to support a dental implant. Depending on the situation, bone grafting may be needed prior to implant placement or done at the time of implant placement.
Sterilized bone from a bone bank is grafted along with a collagen membrane to build the ideal bone support for the implant.
