Dental Implants
Tooth Replacement Solutions for Every Patient
Dental implants are made of two parts, a post that functions as the tooth’s root, and a crown or restoration, which is the portion of the tooth you can see. This structure is independently secure, meaning the replacement tooth does not rely on surrounding teeth for support, as with a bridge.
Dental implants can replace individual teeth or anchor a bridge, denture, or partial. Dr. Holland can place implants for many styles of replacement teeth, including overdentures (implant-retained dentures). As an experienced general dentist, he will provide information and education you need to make a wise choice about the type of implants that are best for your situation, and oversee your implant placement process from start to finish.
