A dental implant can be used in many ways to improve the function and appearance of your smile. An implant can replace a single missing tooth, or several implants can support a new bridge where there are no teeth. Additionally, and maybe most impressively, implants can be used to stabilize a denture and improve your chewing abilities by leaps and bounds!
Since the 1970’s dentists have been working with dental implants. The early researchers did experiments with “osseointegration” or the functional connection between the jaw bone and a dental implant. This research gave way for the Swiss company Nobel Biocare to create what we believe are the highest quality dental implants. We have been placing Nobel Biocare implants at McAdams Dental since our inception and we have a network of highly skilled specialists such as Oral Surgeons and Periodontists who can assist with more complicated cases.
