The Impacts of Tooth Loss
Losing a tooth can have significant impacts on both your dental health and overall well-being. Without a replacement, tooth loss can lead to:
- Bone Loss: Missing teeth can cause the jawbone to deteriorate over time.
- Shifting Teeth: Adjacent teeth may shift into the gap, leading to misalignment.
- Difficulty Chewing and Speaking: Missing teeth can make eating and speaking challenging.
- Reduced Self-Esteem: Many individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance when they have missing teeth.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. This post provides a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

If you are experiencing any of the following, it may be time to consider dental implants:
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Pain or discomfort in the jaw

From the youngest members of your family to the eldest, our comprehensive care covers all stages of life. Whether you need a family dentist or specialized pediatric care, we are here to ensure every family member maintains optimal oral health.
Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants are an excellent option for patients who lack sufficient bone height in their jaw and are not suitable candidates for traditional implants. These implants are placed on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue, providing a stable base for prosthetic teeth.
Ideal for Minimal Bone Height
Perfect for patients who do not have enough bone mass for endosteal implants.
Custom-Fit Design
Subperiosteal implants are custom-made to fit the contours of your jaw, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
Less Invasive Procedure
This type of implant often requires a less invasive surgical procedure compared to bone grafting for endosteal implants.
