Dental Implant Therapy

Dental Implant Therapy, commonly known as Dental Implants, is growing fast in the Dental community. Many patients are still learning what it is, how it works and why it is being recommended with increasing frequency.



Simply stated, a Dental Implant is tooth replacement that mimics nature. It is an advanced dental therapy available to replace missing teeth. A dental implant and implant crown are designed to mimic the look, feel and function of a natural tooth.

The Possible Advantages of Dental Implant Therapy:

  • Minimizes oral bone loss
  • Reduces need to crown adjacent healthy teeth
  • Preserves natural facial contours and appearance
  • Restores oral function in a manner that most closely resembles natural teeth.

How Dental Implants Work:

  • Dental implants are made with materials well accepted by the body
  • Bone forms a natural mechanical bond with the dental implants
  • Dental implants provide a base for your dentist to build your replacement tooth or teeth

Dental Implant therapy involves the placement of a 'fake' root below the gumline, and then a replacement tooth is placed on top of the implant. Dental Implants are the 'State of the Art' choice for replacing missing teeth.
