Implants are synthetic tooth roots. They are usually made of titanium, zirconium and inert materials that are safe for the body.
The oral surgeon embeds the implant in your jaw bone and allows it to integrate with the bone before the artificial tooth or denture is attached to the implant. This system is the best teeth replacement solution whether you are missing one tooth or several.

Our comprehensive services for children and adults create healthy smiles that last. Treatments include metal-free crowns, root canals, tooth-colored filling, dental implants, implant-retained dentures, Invisalign, veneers, in-office teeth bleaching with Opalescence Boost and sleep apnea and TMJ/bruxism solutions.
Your dentist in Alpine offers implants for one missing tooth, several missing teeth and as replacement for removable dentures. Implant-retained dentures are superior to basic dentures in many ways. In fact, experts recommend implant dentures as the best teeth replacement method for patients missing all of their teeth.
Most people who can undergo routine tooth extraction can also undergo implant surgery, but you must be in good overall health and have a strong immune system. The bone in the implant site must also be thick and tall enough to support the implant. Otherwise, you need bone grafting to strengthen the area.
