Dental Implants

Have you lost all or some of your natural teeth?

Bridges, dentures and flexible dentures are not the only solution, thanks to advances in modern dentistry.

Have you heard of dental implants? Implant dentistry offers a clinically proven and safe solution to getting a great smile back and being able to bite and chew with confidence.

This is how they work:

Dental implants are small metal screws that are placed in the jaw in place of a missing tooth.
Once established, crowns, bridges and dentures can be fixed onto the implants, creating a natural-looking and stable restoration.
