Missing teeth can significantly impact your confidence, your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and even your overall oral health. At Smiles at Southgate, we understand the importance of a complete and healthy smile. That’s why we offer high-quality dental implant solutions to help you regain your confidence and improve your quality of life.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a strong and durable foundation for replacement teeth, offering a natural-looking and long-lasting alternative to traditional options like dentures or bridges.
Imagine enjoying your favorite foods without worry, speaking clearly and confidently, and smiling brightly without hesitation. Dental implants can make this a reality. They consist of small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable and long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

- Osseointegration: This crucial healing phase allows the implants to fuse with your jawbone.
