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

realize there is a way to improve quality of life.

Even if you have lost just one tooth – 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.
