Good teeth are the greatest asset we don’t want to lose but statistics show that when we reach the ages of 35 to 44, 69% of us have lost at least one of our natural teeth to a gum disease (gingivitis), a failed root canal, tooth decay or an accident and 26 % of adults by the age 74, have lost all of their natural teeth.

For many years, people had been using Dentures and Bridges for the replacement for their missing teeth. But, today, a much reliable and treatment option is available as Dental Implants. Dental Implants could be an option for you if you are looking for a long term solution.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots placed through a surgery by an Oral Surgeon or Periodontics - a specialist of the gums and supporting bone. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

3. Comfortable: As they are fused with the bone so they become a part of you eliminating the frustrations and discomfort.
