	What are Dental Implants?
	The answer to a missing tooth or to missing all your teeth. Our success rate is consistently higher than 99% in properly screened candidates. The actual components that go into your mouth are made of titanium, machined to aerospace tolerances, fully packaged in a super-clean environment and then fully sterilized. A BioLok implant is 100% biocompatible.

	Healthy teeth no longer need to be sacrified to serve as bridge abutments
	Dental implants, like natural teeth, also transmit chewing forces to the jawbone, which reduces bone loss. This is why many leading dental organizations now recognize dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

	No, it is usually done under local anesthesia. Most procedures can be done in your dentist’s office.
