Dental implants have quickly become the preferred tooth replacement solution for adults. Dental implants have a beautiful natural appearance and are highly durable. And the functional benefits of implants make them an excellent choice for restoring your smile.
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve lost a tooth due to decay, trauma or overcrowding, it’s important to visit your dentist immediately. Because teeth support each other, it only takes one missing tooth to cause the surrounding teeth to shift. When this happens, chewing often becomes difficult and speech patterns can become impaired.
Dental implants are the only permanent solution available to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are becoming the go-to procedure to fill the space left by a missing tooth. While some turn to temporary solutions—such as dental bridges or removable dentures—patients who want a permanent solution look to dental implants.
Dental implants last a lifetime! After 6 -8 years, the crown may need to be changed, but the implant will last for the rest of your life.

I was in a fragile emotional state when I first came to Exquisite Smiles earlier this year, because I had to stop seeing my previous dentist due to him no longer being in network with my insurance. I have not only bad teeth (multiple cavities, root canals, extractions - when it comes to my mouth, you name it, I probably got it), but also severe anxiety when I'm in a dentist's office, and it's always an ordeal for me to start working with someone new. Well, I couldn't have made a better choice! Dr. Valerie Levrant is PHENOMENAL - not only she is a great, very thorough dentist, but also has a very friendly and warm personality, and a great sense of humor. Her assistant, Mariella, is so friendly and outgoing that I felt like I was chatting with a friend, not a dental assistant. Between the two of them they made me so comfortable that I was actually looking forward to my visits - which, coming from me, is the highest compliment! DEFINITELY recommended!
