What Dental Implants Can Do?

They can replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth; support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture; provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.

Here's how an implant is done:

Step 1
Our dentists will put a small metal post into your jawbone.

Step 2
Over time, the post will bond with the bone around it.

Step 3
The post (or implant) will act like an anchor to hold one or more false teeth in place. Because implants stick to the bone, false teeth attached to implants look and act much like natural teeth. But implants are not as strong as natural teeth. You must brush and floss your implant(s) very carefully. Be gentle, but make sure you brush all sides of your implant(s). A toothbrush that has longer bristles at the tip may help clean behind your implant(s). Floss very carefully at least once a day. You will need to be gentle with the floss where the implant meets the gum (called the gumline). You may find a floss threader useful for cleaning this area.
