Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with new ones that look, feel, and work like your own. An implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, with a realistic porcelain crown on top. Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth.
Because the post is anchored in your jawbone, an implant stays put when you eat, talk, and laugh. It doesn’t lean on the teeth beside it for support, and it helps protect the jawbone, which can shrink where a tooth is missing.
A specialist places the implant, and Dr. Motson restores it with the crown, bridge, or denture that goes on top. She talks through each step with you before any work begins, so you know what to expect.
We restore dental implants for patients in Portage and the Kalamazoo area, from a single implant crown to implant bridges and implant-supported dentures. With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, implants can last for many years.
