Dental implants are the next best thing to having your own teeth. If you've lost a tooth or teeth due to tooth decay, gum disease, an accident or other instance, dental implants will allow you to restore your smile with a natural look and feel, giving you confidence to smile, once again. A dental implant is an artificial root (usually made of titanium) placed into the bone that supports your teeth.

Whether it's due to a traumatic event, or improper care, at some point in your life you may need root canal therapy. Root canal therapy treats the nerve of a tooth. The infection in the nerve tissue must be cleaned out prior to filling and sealing the tooth canals. A common misconception is that root canal therapy is an uncomfortable procedure; root canals are very similar to having a cavity filled and are often performed with minimum discomfort.
