What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are facsimile "tooth roots" crafted of lightweight titanium, a strong, safe, and very durable material. Dental implants are the newest and most permanent way to replace missing teeth. Implants are surgically drilled into the jawbone. Once placed, these new "roots" can then be used to attach new teeth, as well as bridges, removable partials or dentures. Dental implants are a safe, reliable, and relatively simple dental procedure which typically requires little prep and recovery time.

Dental Implants are not able to be created using material from any other tooth. All implants are created of manmade metals and alloys, which is guaranteed to be the most durable and effective solution. If properly maintained, dental implants will often last the lifetime of the individual.

Dr. Macdonald offers several dental implant options, depending on the severity and individual characteristics of the patient.
