Dental Implants are tiny titanium posts that are fixed into jawbone that provide the foundation of the beautiful, new replacement teeth. Implants replace individual teeth without damaging or involving teeth, this is a perfect treatment modality for a natural feel as well as aesthetic satisfaction. When properly maintained with proper brushing and flossing the implant can last a lifetime. Common causes of tooth loss are

Tooth Decay
Broken Tooth that can’t be repaired
Advanced Gum Disease
Crowded Teeth
Injury
