Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements that are used to counter tooth loss.
Implants are commonly composed of a titanium screw that is placed into the bone tissue to mimic what the root would be like. This part of the placement is done at the periodontist’s office or oral surgeon’s office. Once placed, there is a 3-6 month healing process where the bone tissue integrates around the implant. Once the specialist gives us the go ahead, the crown is placed on top of the implant. Dental Implants are a great solution for missing teeth or to firmly hold a denture.
