Implant dentistry is the future and its here now! In the past when a tooth was hopeless or broken we simply would extract it and have limited options. Generally it would require us to make a bridge and use adjacent teeth as anchors. This was the norm and now in some cases is excessive with implants as an option. Implants can be used to:
- In place of broken tooth & teeth
- In place of missing tooth & teeth
- To help support dentures for more retention
- Instead of root canal therapy in some cases

Using Titanium based implants we are able to place them in your jaws comfortably and predictably. With the usage of sedation we can have this procedure completed in just one office visit with a high level of comfort and post-operative healing. The implants generally take 3-6 months to fully integrate into your bone allowing them to behave in many ways like your actual teeth. Patients who have them, just simply love them!
If you are missing one tooth, multiple, or all of them this can be the option that changes your quality of life for the better. The technologies today are amazing and at Dr. Grobas we use only the best so come in for a consultation and find out what we can do for you. With experience in placing implants and restoring them we can plan together a treatment plan that works for you.
