Dental Implants

The best way to replace missing or damaged teeth

Modern cosmetic dental implants replace or augment dentures and bridges.

Many dentists, including Dr. Sun, recommend dental implants as a great alternative for replacement of missing teeth, fixed bridges, partials and holding dentures in place. A dental implant will stimulate bone growth and keep your jaw strong and healthy for a replacing a missing or damaged tooth. Missing teeth may cause subsequent dental problems, jaw alignment problems and can be detrimental to one’s self-esteem, or even harm job security.

Because oral health problems are systemic and can often affect other parts of the body, a missing tooth can cause multiple problems and should be treated sooner rather than later. The dental implant procedure involves the placement of a small medical-grade titanium post into the bone of the jaw which acts as an artificial tooth root, as gum tissue and surrounding bone cells heal around it. This process is called osseointegration. The replacement tooth crown is then attached to the new artificial root. The dental implant will look, feel and function like your natural tooth.

With proper oral home care and regular dental visits, your dental implant can last you a lifetime. Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Grace Sun has been providing dental implant services since the early 1980s. She works with a team of specialists to assure the highest quality of service and care for your implant.
