Anyone who is missing one or more of their teeth due to decay, injury or disease may be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants restored with a crown or bridge can replace one, a few or all teeth that are missing. Occasionally, some patients express concern that their age may prevent them from getting dental implants.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw, the implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and allowed to bond with the bone and serve as an anchor for the replacement tooth.

However, health is more of a determining factor than age. We will determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of your dental and medical health history.

The benefits of implant treatment include appearance, the enhanced ability to chew and enjoy your food, and often protection of your remaining teeth and jawbone. In short, dental implants will look, feel and function like your real teeth.
