What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a wonderful alternative for treating empty spaces caused by tooth loss or stabilizing a loose-fitting denture. The procedure is virtually painless and is usually completed in 20-30 minutes.

Why Choose An Oral Surgeon & Periodontist?

Both are accredited dental specialists with ample training for 3-6 years after dental school. Our specialties focus on dental implants, bone, and soft tissue. Our surgeons are also credentialed in IV sedation to give you a calm and relaxing experience.

Why Is A Dental Implant Better Than A Bridge?

Dental implants are a quick efficient solution to replace a missing tooth. A bridge requires cutting on adjacent healthy tooth structures or removing good crowns to close the space. Research shows a dental bridge has an average life span of 10 years and replacement becomes complicated when a bridge fails. A dental implant is maintained well and can last a lifetime.

How Does A Dental Implant Stabilize My Denture?

Most patients that have had dentures for ten or more years have experienced a change in the way their denture fits and is retained. They will slowly lose bone over time making it difficult to chew on food or speak with their denture. A denture can physically be snapped onto a dental implant allowing for much more proficient speaking, chewing, and confidence in your denture.
