Dental Implant Materials
Dental implants have grown to become a reliable option for replacing missing teeth. Dental implant materials have undergone thorough research to help understand how the chemical and physical properties affect treatment outcomes.

Our dentists are well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and have extensive knowledge and experience handling different dental implant materials. You can be sure of a stress-free and upscaled experience.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are screw-like prostheses or tiny anchors embedded surgically into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth. They are artificial roots that will last a lifetime with proper care and regular oral hygiene practices like flossing and brushing.
Dental Implant Materials
You need to know the type of dental implant materials available on the market, with dental implants becoming more popular daily. There are two main materials used in dental implants - titanium and zirconia. Titanium is the most popular since it integrates with the jawbone well. Zirconia came into the market recently due to technological advancements and has not gained much ground.
You must choose the right dental implant material. Ensure you discuss the available options with us, and do not forget to contact your insurance provider to choose a dental implant material you can easily afford.
Single Tooth Implants
Single-tooth implants refer to dental implant surgery to replace a single missing tooth. Our dentists will always ensure the titanium post is properly inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the missing tooth.
After healing, a dental crown will be attached to the post. Most people with one missing tooth prefer a single dental implant over a tooth-fixed bridge. A single dental tooth implant does not affect your health or the neighboring teeth. Maintaining single-tooth implants is very easy.
Multiple Tooth Implants
Multiple tooth implants function like single tooth implants. The only difference is that multiple tooth implants are placed in the jaw and cater to multiple crowns. It is a great solution if you have lost more than one tooth and want to replace all of the missing teeth while preventing any further issues in the future.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants help in replacing the root structure of the lost tooth. This makes them a permanent structure in your body.
The dental implants will not move around or slide in your mouth. They appear and feel like your natural tooth; thus will never inconvenience you in any way, as you will not have to worry about them when speaking or eating. You will not have to bother yourself with doing a lot of maintenance practices; regular oral care is enough. They last a lifespan and will help bring back your lost confidence and self-esteem.
