Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing tooth/teeth and provide a fixed solution to removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these removable prostheses.
Dental implants are artificial roots (usually titanium) surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone. We then attach teeth (crowns) to the implant fixture. For a single missing tooth, implants are the standard of care allowing us to restore function and esthetics without having to modify adjacent teeth.
Implant crowns in Newport News, VA, are strong and durable and will last many years. Occasionally, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
