It can happen at any age: Losing teeth due to a sports injury or bad genetics. However, that doesn't mean you can't have a beautiful smile again. Dental implants are a great way to fill in your smile and no one will know!

Unlike dentures , dental implants are surgically fused to the jawbone and give you more stability. This also allows the dental implants to look and feel more natural. The process is fairly simple. As with any tooth, a root is needed for stability. The dental implant is comprised of a titanium implant, the root, surrounded by a prosthetic tooth. Just like your natural teeth, the titanium root stimulates healthy gum growth, as well. Plus, dental implants can replace as many teeth as necessary.

Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Gurley has the option of making the prosthetic removable or fixed. Generally, however, the prosthetics are fixed.

If you have missing teeth, spaces where teeth never grew in or wear dentures and are tired of caring for them, dental tooth implants may be a good alternative for you. Click here to see Before and After photos of Dr. Gurley's dental implant patients.
