Dental Implants

While bridges and crowns work well to restore the look and functioning of the teeth, these options are not permanent, as they eventually have to be replaced. Dental implants are an alternative solution that can be used to replace missing teeth.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial root that is inserted into the jawbone. It is made from titanium metal with a post attached to it that holds the artificial tooth in place. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth in the mouth.

Caring For Your Dental Implants

Your dentist will provide guidance on how to properly brush and floss your implant. It is also important to schedule regular check-ups to ensure the implant is functioning correctly; by taking good care of your implant, you can ensure that it looks great and functions well for many years.
