A dental implant, in the simplest of terms, is a replacement for the root of your tooth. Once the implant has healed and is stable in your mouth, it can be used to support permanent crowns, bridges or even stabilize removable dentures. Dr. Horowitz and his staff will explain to you the options and benefits for any implant related therapy that is needed. A typical question that is asked: Why are Implants so Popular and the First choice for and by patients?

There is never anything like the 'original', and an implant-supported tooth comes as close as possible to your own tooth. By placing an implant in your mouth, your bone thinks the tooth is still there and will continue to grow and maintain a strong and healthy foundation. Bone loss can lead to a variety of complications or a requirement for more extensive care for many patients, instead of simple maintenance visits with your dentist and hygienist.
