DENTAL IMPLANTS
Are you ready to restore your smile?
Dental implants have become the preferred option of patients to replace single and multiple teeth. Implants require no more care than your natural teeth and cannot get cavities. They do not slip or rock like dentures, making them the most successful option for patients seeking an option for tooth replacement.
Our team will work together with your restorative dentist to develop a treatment plan that provides you with the best options to fit your needs. Our computer-guided implant surgery results in less postoperative discomfort as well as less swelling and bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day.
If you are interested in dental implants, be sure to give us a call to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, your oral surgeon will take a 3D scan to create a treatment plan for your procedure and discuss next steps.
Dental Implant Options
Single tooth implant
Single-tooth implants are best when one (or multiple) natural teeth have been compromised.
Bridge
Implant bridges are better than traditional dental bridges as they do not compromise the health of natural teeth.
Overdentures
Overdentures snap in and lock into the implants. They can easily be taken off and put back on by the patient.
Hybrid Implant Dentures
Hybrid dentures are fixed in place. To clean, your general dentist will remove during your regular cleanings.
