Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they can support:

• Dental crowns (single-tooth replacement)
  
  
• Dental bridges (multiple teeth)
  
  
• Implant-supported dentures

Unlike dentures or bridges that sit on the gums or rely on adjacent teeth, implants integrate with your jawbone for unmatched stability and longevity.

At Layton Dental, we offer implant restoration, which means we work closely with trusted oral surgeons to place the implant and then design and place the final restoration right here in our office.

Dental implants offer more than just cosmetic enhancement. Key benefits include:

• Permanent, stable tooth replacement
  
  
• Preserves bone structure and prevents jawbone loss
  
  
• Improves chewing and speaking function
  
  
• Maintains facial structure and prevents premature aging
  
  
• No impact on neighboring teeth (unlike traditional bridges)
  
  
• Easy to care for—just brush and floss like natural teeth

If you’re considering a smile makeover or full-mouth restoration, implants may be an integral part of your treatment plan.

You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth
  
  
• Have healthy gums and adequate bone density
  
  
• Don’t smoke or are willing to stop during healing
  
  
• Want a permanent, non-removable solution

If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, we also offer bone grafting to prepare the site for successful treatment.
