Dental Implants
A dental implant is a biocompatible, man-made substitute that replaces a missing tooth root. Usually made of the space-age titanium alloy, implants come in various shapes and sizes to fit the situation. If you have implants that are painful, loose, worn, or simply not functioning properly, our dentists can repair and restore them so that they work properly and do not cause you any pain or discomfort.

When your implants are not working as they should, they may not only cause pain and swelling, but they can often hinder your ability to talk, eat, and smile. Properly installed implants restore lost chewing ability, improve appearance, end embarrassment, and give real self-confidence to patients who need them. Because of proven success, preservation of existing teeth, and no susceptibility to dental decay (cavities), dental implants are the answer to missing teeth. If your implants need repair, our dentists can help.
All-on-X Dental Implants
We’re proud to offer All-on-X dental implants to our patients seeking permanent tooth replacement. The All-on-X procedure is ideal for those with significant tooth loss who are looking to replace one or both arches. During your appointment, one of our doctors will place the implants and give you a temporary denture the same day. That way, you never have to be without teeth! Once you’ve fully healed from dental implant surgery, we’ll attach the permanent fixed denture over top of the implants. All-on-X implants look and feel natural. That way, you can smile with confidence.
