A missing tooth can have a negative effect on your appearance and function. The most effective way to replace a missing tooth is with a dental implant.

A dental implant, made of titanium, replaces the root of your missing tooth. After the dental implant is firmly anchored in place to the bone, a new crown is made to fit it. The new restoration looks and feels almost as natural as your own tooth. Dental implants may also be used to anchor dentures, so that you can eat and smile with confidence.
