Dental Implants
Wondering What Dental Implants Look Like?
Made from titanium or ceramic materials, a dental implant screws into the tooth gap. It functions as an artificial tooth root.
After being surgically placed in your jaw, the implant fuses with the bone structure. This process is called osseointegration.
Once healing is completed, dental implants can secure a custom dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

Dr. Vlassis and his team are so gentle. Doctor explains in layman terms what the procedures are. Recently had a gum problem. I was expecting surgery. After examining the area, Doctor Vlassis made a small adjustment to my bite and no more pain! Thank you! So pleased with my visit.
