Why Dental Implants?Once you learn about dental implants, you finally

realize there is a way to improve your life. When

you lose several teeth – whether it’s a new situation

or something you have lived with for years – chances

are you have never become fully accustomed to

losing such a vital part of yourself.

Now you can start over! With titanium tooth roots

your dentist can offer replacement teeth that look,

feel and function just like natural teeth. Dental

implants can be your doorway to renewed

self-confidence and peace of mind.

Dental implants fuse with the jawbone to form a

secure foundation for tooth replacement. This

concept for oral rehabilitation was developed more

than thirty-five years ago by a Swedish scientist and

orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark

With his pioneering research, Dr. Brånemark

opened the door to a lifetime of renewed comfort

and self-confidence for millions of individuals facing

the frustration and embarrassment of tooth loss.
