What are dental implants and do you do them?  A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth.  The implant is placed in the upper or lower jaw.  It will bond with the bone over time and thus serve as an anchor for the replacement tooth.  Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth.  Our surgeons are trained in all aspects of implantation and would be happy to discuss the process with you.
