If you are living with permanent tooth loss, we have the solution you need. Dental implants are recommended to replace missing teeth and restore your healthy smile. Implants are made from two components: a root-like screw and a connector. The screw is surgically placed in your jawbone, while the connector supports the replacement tooth. Surgical guides are generated using our 3D CT scanner and CEREC system. This allows for the precise placement of our implants, often without the need for any incisions or stitches. With implants, you can get your smile back for life. Our team offers both single tooth implants or implants to retain dentures or bridges.
