Once in place, they provide a stable foundation for artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. There are two types of implants - single tooth implants and implant-supported dentures.

This procedure involves surgically placing a titanium implant fixture into the jawbone, which serves as a sturdy anchor for a custom-made dental crown. The crown is meticulously designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile. Single tooth implants not only restore aesthetics but also preserve surrounding bone structure and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting. They provide long-term durability and comfort, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
