Tooth replacement
Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Dental implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root.
What Are Dental Implants?
Implants are a synthetic structure used to replace a missing or broken tooth. Implants are surgically anchored to the jawbone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge.
Implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of real teeth.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
For a successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene.
Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthesia and, if necessary, antibiotics to stave off infection following the procedure. Like any restoration, implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care to ensure they last a long time.
