Dental Implants
Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums.
What is an Implant?
A dental implant is a metal post (made of titanium) surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the root portion of a missing tooth. An artificial tooth (crown) is then placed on to the implant giving the look of a real tooth.
Dental Implants provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures
Basis for Dental Implants
Titanium forms an intimate bond to the bone via a biologic process called osseointegration. The bond provides a stable support for artificial tooth (crown), a bridge or denture to be mounted on to the implant.

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge permanently replaces missing teeth with false teeth. The bridge is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges are usually made of porcelain or metal, a mixture of the 2, or zirconia.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is used to replace one or multiple missing teeth, and can solve both the functional (chewing and biting) and the aesthetic (appearance) issue of having one or a few missing teeth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are dentures that replace all of your natural teeth. You can have them fitted for your top or bottom gum line, and are held in place by suction and/or the help of an oral adhesive.
