Implants

A dental implant is an excellent treatment for replacing missing teeth. It is a small, titanium post that replaces the roots of a missing tooth. A custom-fitted artificial tooth (called a crown) is secured to the implant. An implant has several benefits. Like the roots of natural teeth, it stimulates the jaw bone when you chew. When the restoration is in place, the implant looks and feels much like natural teeth. An implant can support a variety of restorations, such as a single crown, multi-unit bridges, and full arch dentures. An implant can be an excellent long-term solution for missing teeth.
