You say you're having trouble eating? Your teeth fall out and rub sores? There are spaces in your mouth that you want fixed but you don't want to damage good teeth to make bridges? Well, dental implants may be the perfect answer for you.

Dental Implantology or the science of placing artificial teeth directly into the bone has been a perfected science for more than twenty years. Today, we are seeing routine placement of dental implants with success rates of 90 to 97% for 10 years or longer. This means that if you have had difficulty with removable teeth and want them as strong as they were when they were natural, they can be that strong again. We can even make a single tooth implant that rivals the natural one in strength and cosmetic appearance. Miraculous you say? Not really.

Titanium has been used in medicine for decades, successfully replacing hips and knees joints. Dentistry is just taking advantage of this technology, applying it to the art of chewing. These titanium teeth are "ankylosed" or chemically bonded directly to the bone. It doesn't get any stronger than that!
