Even one missing tooth can spoil your appearance and dampen your self-esteem. At Happy Dental, we restore smiles and renew confidence with custom-made dental implants.
Many patients prefer implants to dentures or bridges because of their completely natural look and feel. Dental implants are a permanent addition to your smile, so you won't need adhesive, and you'll never experience embarrassing slippage. If you qualify, Dr O’Connor will place tiny titanium posts in your jaw, one for each dental implant or a few to anchor a bridge, denture, or partial. Dr. O’Connor will oversee the entire process and mount custom crowns or attach your prosthetic to the posts to give you a fantastic new smile.
