Dental Implants

Dental Implants are the closest that a false tooth can come to the qualities of natural teeth. Dental Implants can replace single teeth or full dentures. Esthetically, dental implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and re-create your beautiful smile. A dental implant is a titanium tooth root that takes the place of a natural tooth root and is equally as strong. The titanium tooth root is surgically implanted in your jawbone by a specially trained implant dentist; your body’s bone tissue naturally fuses with the titanium and creates a reliable “fake” tooth root. Dr. Appleton and our team will set a natural looking restoration on the implant “root” and you will never know you had a missing tooth! Dr. Appleton will explain the procedure thoroughly to you so that you can make an informed decision. We also are able to use implants to stabilize Dentures and Partial Dentures.
