Dental Implants
With Dental Implants replace missing teeth and prevent the deterioration of the internal structures of the mouth. They look, function and feel just like natural teeth, and offer a permanent alternative to dentures.
Titanium Dental Implants
In the early 1950s, Swedish scientist Per-Ingvar Branemark noted that titanium could bond with bone much like a tooth does. He termed this process osseointegration.
Since then, systems have been developed using titanium for dental implant procedures for tooth root replacement and other medical applications.

While a bridge may have to be replaced 2-3 times in one's lifetime, implants typically last for life (with good care), thus saving money in the long run.
For patients dealing with ill-fitting dentures, dental implants can be placed to anchor the denture and ensure that the dentures doesn't move and/or cause discomfort.
