Oftentimes, missing a tooth in the visible aesthetic area can impact a person's confidence while speaking and smiling. Although missing a more hidden tooth presents little aesthetic concern, it can have a negative affect on your chewing ability and other adjacent teeth, such as cause them to shift position and create new places for plaque and tartar to build up.

A dental implant is  a small titanium screw that acts as an artificial tooth root, and provides a stable foundation for the final crown placement. Also, an implant preserves healthy adjacent teeth by eliminating the need to grind them down to support a bridge. Dental implants look, feel and function just like natural teeth and enable you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
