Implant Placement & Maintenance

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

When a problem develops with the soft tissues and bone around an implant, early detection and treatment is important.  Treatment involves careful cleaning of the implant surface and surgical intervention in more advanced cases.
