Although a lot of people fear the dentist's office, when you know what's going to happen and all the benefits you'll reap, it can be a lot less scary.

All types of dental implants require a certain level of jawbone to be available to place the implant. Even our mini implants, which are designed to be easier to place and require less bone, require a foundation on which to stand. When you get dental implants, the prosthetic tooth root (the implant) is inserted directly into your gum and allowed to fuse to your jawbone. This fusion creates a strong foundation for your replacement tooth. However, if there is not enough bone to support the implant, we cannot place it. This is where our bone grafting procedure comes in.

Another positive aspect of dental implants, is that they do not need to be anchored to other teeth. Some dental procedures, like bridges, do include the process of being anchored to other teeth.
