What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium fixtures that are placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw, They serve as man-made substitutes for the root portion of lost natural teeth, and act as an anchor for replacement teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth. Dental implants can mean no more need for Dentures.

Are they Right for You?
Dental implants are appropriate for almost anyone who is missing teeth or at risk of losing teeth. Occasionally, older patients express concern that their age may prevent them from enjoying the benefits that dental implants offer. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If you're healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you're probably healthy enough to recieve dental implants.
