Dental implants are the closest we can get you to healthy, natural teeth. They allow you to live the way you want to – confidently eating, smiling, laughing, and enjoying your day without ever worrying about your teeth.

They are small titanium posts which are placed into the jaw bone for each tooth that you want to have replaced. The titanium implant is then integrated into the jaw as the bone heals in and around it. Now we have a strong foundation for an artificial tooth.

In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure and tissues, preventing the bone from the degradation that often occurs in the area that a tooth is removed. Once the implant is placed and has healed into the jaw, Dr. Eric will place the crown (the tooth that attaches to the implant) and abutment (what attaches the crown to the implant), making sure that your tooth has been replaced as good as new!
