Dental implants are a special type of titanium screws that are placed in
the mandible/maxillary bone and are used to assist the retention and
stability of a prosthesis that  replaces either a single missing tooth,
multiple missing teeth or all the teeth in the mouth.

Implant therapy consists of two phases:

-Surgical phase.  The placement of one or multiple implants in the
areas where teeth are missing.

-Prosthetic phase.  The fabrication of a prosthesis
supported/retained by implants that replaces the missing teeth giving
back function and improved esthetic appearance to the patient.


Current technology, procedures and implant designs allow us to
shorten the treatment time and minimizing patient discomfort in a
consistent manner.

The high clinical success of dental implant restorations in the last three
decades has position this type of therapy as the
number one option
for the replacement of missing teeth.
Advantages of Dental Implant therapy

- Preservation of existing bone and significant decrease of future        
  bone loss.
- Provides retention, stability and support to loose and uncomfortable
  dentures,single crowns and bridges.
- Improved masticatory function and esthetic appearance.
- Highly predictable.
- Replacement of missing teeth and restoration of function in one day
  for ideal candidates.
