Dental implants offer a predictable and permanent solution to replacing missing
teeth. Additionally, dental implants can also be used in conjunction with dentures to
increase stability, and reduce gum tissue irritation.

Today’s dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They are
typically placed in a single sitting, but do require a period of 2-3 months to fully
integrate with the bone, before they are ready to complete the final placement of a
permanent crown.

Dental implants are one of the most successful procedures in dentistry. Studies have
shown a five-year success rate of 95% for the lower jaw, and a 90% success rate for the upper jaw.

The good news, dental implants are never susceptible to the development of cavities, however, good oral hygiene is a must so the gums surrounding the implant remain healthy.
