What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that’s placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth. Once it has healed, a custom crown is attached to create a replacement that looks, feels, and functions much like a natural tooth.

Not everyone is a candidate for a dental implant, and some patients may need additional treatment before an implant can be placed.

We’ll evaluate your health, your bone, and your smile to determine whether an implant is the best option for you.
