Dental Implants

Losing a tooth (or teeth) can be a shattering experience, both emotionally and professionally. Aside from the obvious problems of poor physical appearance and damaged self-esteem, missing teeth also cause subsequent dilemmas like loss of chewing ability or ineffective speech.

Dental implants are substitutes for the roots of missing teeth, and they have proven to be the most effective tooth replacement procedure.
