In this day and age of processed foods, marginally healthy, and hectic lives, our teeth fall victim to a general lack of maintenance. Regular brushing, flossing, and checkups allow a certain amount of security to our teeth, but they often deteriorate due to injury or disease. Here is where dental implants come to the rescue of your all-natural smile.

Dental implants are synthetic roots that are designed in the shape of a post and are inserted into the jawbone. Generally made of titanium, a metal that works very well with human bone. Once the implant is in place and the jaw bone has healed the patient is called back for an appointment that fixes a permanent tooth.
