What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, usually titanium, that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Implant dentistry provides permanent restorative solutions for individuals who have lost one or more of their natural teeth. Dental implants are supported by the jawbones and feel almost identical to natural teeth. Today, implants are a routine procedure that provides strength, durability, and ultra-great cosmetic results. Implants can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth, almost like having your own real teeth back again. Implants can also be used to anchor in and stabilize removable full dentures, often allowing dentures to be made much smaller, so they do not have to cover the roof of the mouth.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
A patient who has lost a tooth or multiple teeth from an emergency accident or any other cause may be a good candidate for dental implants. A healthy jaw is an essential requirement, as dental implants are planted and fixed into the jaw, acting as an artificial root for a replacement tooth or bridge.
