Did you know that dental implants offer a more permanent solution to dentures? A dental implant involves a surgical procedure that embeds a metal post into the jaw bone. A prosthetic tooth is then secured to the post mount.

This solution is great for patients who may be experiencing discomfort from removable dentures; or for those missing only a single tooth.Dental implants provide the same function and durability as your own natural teeth. They also require the same type of hygienic care. This includes daily brushing, flossing, as well as routine checkups to ensure that the your gums and implant site are healthy and continue to provide normal function.
