An implant is an artificial replacement for natural teeth which allows the patient to avoid or replace removable dentures. It is not a transplant; these are not teeth taken from another person, but rather an artificial replacement for your own teeth.

There are several categories of dental implants; Dr. Foley will recommend a specific type of implant, depending on your specific needs and general dental condition. She will take an X-ray of your mouth to evaluate the amount of bone remaining, models of your mouth to determine space available, and after a thorough examination, will recommend which type of implant can help you the most.

Dental implants are the future in dentistry and are becoming more and more widely used by dentists worldwide. Dental implant success rates have skyrocketed in the past few years, and people are finding new comfort and confidence in replacing their missing teeth with dental implants.
