Dental implants can support the normal forces of chewing and biting, allowing you to enjoy all of your favorite foods without restricting your diet. The tooth that is mounted to the top of the implant post is custom-crafted to blend in with your surrounding teeth in color, shape, size and texture, so virtually no one will be able to tell that you have a dental implant.

Dental implants are extremely strong and stable. Once they are positioned in the mouth, they are fixed into place, so you don’t ever have to reposition them or worry about noises or shifting.

Dental bridges rely on the adjacent teeth for strength and support; those teeth must be filed down and capped with crowns, which anchor the bridge. Over time, the crowned teeth can become significantly worn or damaged, possibly requiring additional treatment.

Dental implants are a stand-alone solution that don’t require the support of the surrounding teeth and don’t damage natural teeth. In fact, implants prevent those teeth from shifting around into the empty space left by the missing tooth and becoming tilted or crooked.

Unlike dentures and dental bridges, which must be repaired or replaced every few years, dental implants are built to last. With the proper care and attention, they can last indefinitely.
