Third molars are commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. They are usually the last teeth to develop and are located in the back of your mouth, behind your second molars. Their development is usually completed between the middle teenage years and early twenties, a time traditionally associated with the onset of maturity and the attainment of wisdom.
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown.

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. If you are missing teeth, implants will allow you to regain the ability to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence. Your new teeth will appear natural and your facial contours will be preserved.
Dental implants are changing the way people live as they allow our patients to rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
