How are Single Tooth Implants Placed?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically positioned in the jawbone beneath the gum line to replace the tooth's root. It is then topped with a crown after healing to provide the appearance of a natural, healthy tooth. If you're considering implants, you must have healthy gums and a jawbone that is strong enough to secure and support the post.

- Natural looking
- Placed quickly, in 1-2 hours
- Built to last, and with proper care, the titanium post can last a lifetime (crowns typically last 10-15 years)
