A dental implant is a biocompatible, man-made substitute to replace missing tooth roots; it is usually made of a space-age alloy of titanium. Implants come in various shapes and sizes to fit the situation. Most are cylinders placed into bone and allowed to heal undisturbed while bone heals around them, locking them in like an anchor. After a few months, the implants are used as a foundation for replacing the missing teeth.

30 million people in the U.S. have no teeth in one or both arches but mostly are unaware of what dentistry can do to improve their health. Tens of millions more have lost some teeth. Implants can restore your chewing function to the equivalent of someone with natural teeth.

Dental implants restore lost chewing ability, improve appearance, end embarrassment, and give real self-confidence to patients who need them. They are a real breakthrough!

Dental implants are the most stable and best solution for missing teeth. This procedure is one that Dr. Heidari has done repeatedly for satisfied patients over many years. Dr. Heidari also has in-depth training and great experience in this area and will be happy to answer any questions that may occur to you.

Today dental implants are the professions' preferred method of replacing missing teeth. Because of proven success, preservation of existing teeth, and no susceptibility to dental decay (cavities), dental implants are the answer to missing teeth, dentures and partials are no longer necessary.
