Are you missing a tooth and feel insecure? Learn how a dental implant can help you regain confidence.

What are Implants?
Implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically placed beneath your gums. After placement, the implants fuse to the bone of your jaw and act as artificial tooth roots. Replacement teeth—singularly or grouped on a bridge or denture—are then mounted to the implant.

What are Implants Made of?
The implant itself is made of metal—usually titanium as it has proven to be very compatible with bone and other tissues. The surfaces of some implants are treated with a substance that helps them adhere to the bone.

Just like conventional crowns, bridges or dentures, the replacement teeth mounted on the implants are made of porcelain, porcelain and metal, or polymer resin.

What are the benefits of Implants?
One key advantage of implants is that they fuse to the jawbone, offering a stable support to artificial teeth. Dentures, bridges, or individual teeth mounted to the implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth—an especially important benefit when eating and speaking.

This secure fit also helps replacement teeth feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures. Some people may find the ability of implant-supported dentures to be more comfortable than removable dentures.
