A dental implant is a small man-made titanium screw that serves as a replacement for the root of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and allowed to fuse with the bone. It serves as an anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth. Implant supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. They are a proven restorative option with a long clinical history. Dental implants prevent the normal bone loss associated with losing teeth.

Most dental implants are placed by Dr. Nabaie in our office with local anesthesia. The process is pain free and usually takes about one hour. After the placement of implant you can return to normal daily activities. If you are interested in dental implants you are encouraged to make an appointment with Dr. Nabaie so he can discuss this wonderful treatment option with you.
