Titanium dental implants provide permanent solutions for tooth loss. Implants help promote new and healthy bone growth while replacing single teeth, multiple adjacent teeth, and even providing permanent support for dentures on one or both jaws.

Regardless of how many teeth you are missing, and where, modern dental implants are designed with advanced technology and made from specialized materials to offer a permanent solution.
Dental implants are built of three elements: a titanium post that is placed in your jaw; an abutment that is attached to that post; and a restoration (a tooth or bridge, or even dentures) attached to that abutment.
Titanium is an ideal material for dental implants because it is highly resistant to corrosion and has a high strength-to-density ratio. Most importantly, your jaw bone accepts titanium as a replacement tooth root and bonds powerfully to it through a process called osseointegration.
The process of osseointegration between your jaw and that titanium post also stimulates new bone growth in your jaw, meaning you could end up with a stronger and healthier jaw than before the process began.
Dental implants can replace single teeth. multiple adjacent teeth by providing the foundation for a bridge with a titanium post at each end, and can even provide permanent foundations for full sets of dentures.
There was a time when implants were not an appropriate solution for patients with very narrow jaw bones, or if you had very poor bone density.
Continuing advances in implant materials, techniques, and equipment, however, means that there may be effective implant solutions even if you fall into one of those categories.
Dental Implants Process
The process of dental implants begins with an assessment of your teeth and jaws in our clinic, where we’ll take a series of images and discuss the full range of options available to you. Once a treatment plan is in place, we will perform any necessary extractions before inserting your titanium post(s).
Once that post has been fully accepted by and firmly bound to your jaw, we will work with you to design your final restoration.
