Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

The
Other Option – Immediate Load Implants
With immediate load implants, only four - six implants are used to
permanently hold dentures in place. We use All-on-4™
implants that never have to be removed. These implants are
situated in your mouth to provide strong support for your
teeth. They are capable of withstanding pressure immediately
– no more waiting for up to six months for the supporting
bone structure to heal. The best part is, you can have
beautiful, functioning teeth in just one visit!
In the past, if a patient had missing teeth and wanted
dental implants, they would have to go to an oral surgeon.
After the surgeon placed the implants, the patient would go
back to the dentist to have a tooth-like structure placed
over the implant. But today, we can take care of the whole
process in one appointment!
