Dental Implants
Dental implants are the secure, natural option for replacing missing teeth. By replacing the tooth root with a small, biocompatible, titanium post, dental implants mimic natural tooth structure. Dr. Kakos can place one implant for a single tooth, or a few to anchor a bridge, partial, or denture.
Once your dental implant is placed, you bone tissue will fuse with the biocompatible titanium. This creates a solid foundation onto which Dr. Kakos will place your custom crown, bridge, or denture. Traditional bridges and dentures do not replace the tooth root, which can result in bone deterioration. Dental implants give your jawbone purpose, and therefore, the bone remains strong.
Dental implants require good oral health and adequate bone structure. Dr. Kakos will thoroughly examine your medical history and oral status to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. Learn more about dental implants in our patient library.
