  • Am I a candidate for dental implants?

    Candidates for dental implants must exhibit the following qualities: 

    • Damaged and/or missing teeth
    • A strong jawbone that can support dental implants 
    • Non-smoker
    • Good overall health
  • What are dental implants made of?

    Dental implants are made of three main components: 

    • Titanium alloy rods. These are screwed into the jawbone and act as the tooth's natural "root".
    • Abutment. This connects the rod and crown together. 
    • Crown. The crown will cap the top of the tooth and it will resemble the shape and color of your natural teeth.

I've had excellent care for years. Dr. T is great at explaining everything, making it less stressful, and making sure you feel comfortable. Everyone is friendly and service is prompt. I would recommend Westlake Dental Care to anyone.
