When you lose a tooth, bridges and dentures can replace the visible part of the teeth but they don’t address the space left by the missing root. Dental implants are placed in the jawbone in place of natural roots and fuse with the bone, serving as a strong base for replacement teeth.

An ideal candidate for dental implants has good general health and enough jaw height to support implants. To determine if dental implants are the best choice for you, a thorough assessment with Dr. Thomas would be scheduled.
