Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term, natural-feeling solution for missing teeth. Unlike removable options, an implant is anchored directly to your jawbone, giving you a stable, permanent replacement that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
What It Is
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom crown. It’s considered the most permanent solution for a missing tooth.
Why You’d Need It
An implant may be right for you if you have:
- A single missing tooth you want replaced permanently
- A desire to avoid altering neighboring healthy teeth (as a bridge requires)
- Dentures that feel unstable or uncomfortable
- An interest in a long-term investment in your smile and jawbone health
