A dental implant is an artificial tooth surgically fused to the jawbone to permanently replace a missing tooth. It is the second most common way to replace missing teeth, after dentures. But why want dentures while we can offer you a permanent solution?

Types of Dental Implant Procedures
Single Tooth Implant designed to replace one missing tooth. The implant can restore the functionality and structure of a natural tooth with a titanium post and porcelain crown. It is custom-designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding natural teeth.
Multiple Teeth Implants to address multiple missing adjacent teeth by bridging the gap. It also provides natural looking results.
Full Arch Replacement for those missing most of their teeth. This procedure involves placing multiple dental implants and bridges. However, if the patient doesn’t have enough natural jaw bone left, a synthetic bone maybe needed. In that case, a bone graft must be done few months prior to the procedure.
