A dental Implant is a small screw-shaped cylinder that is placed into bone. The implant acts like the root of a natural tooth because bone forms around the implant to hold it firmly in place through a process called osseointegration. Implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth, or to stabilize dentures. In cases where there are multiple missing teeth, multiple implants can be placed to allow for implant-supported bridges or dentures.

The success rate for dental implants is very high. With proper care, good dental hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle, it is rare that implants will fail.

Dr. Goodman, our periodontist, is specially trained in implant dentistry. She will skillfully place your sturdy implants into bone while Dr. Stein and Dr. Waksman will place beautiful and naturally appearing teeth over top.
