Implants

Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is often the treatment of choice and is also one of the most conservative treatments for tooth replacement. Dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural that can last a lifetime. Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.

Implants are biocompatible posts that replace the roots of your missing teeth. They are physically and biologically designed to attach to your jaw bone and become the foundation for a natural looking restoration. Your new tooth or teeth will have excellent stability and strength, and will look and feel like your natural teeth.

Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. Dental implant patients enjoy restored function, which allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods and allows improvement in speech, while preventing teeth from shifting in the mouth.

A highly experienced oral surgeon or periodontist recommended by Dr. Cannilla will safely and effectively perform the surgical procedure for your implant. Dr. Cannilla will partner with your specialist to follow your treatment to the restorative phase. Dr. Cannilla will complete the implant procedure by attaching natural and functional tooth structures to the implant components, providing you once again with the comforts and confidence that accompanies a beautiful smile.
