Restore Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
A dental implant is essentially a titanium screw that is inserted into and fuses to your jawbone. A permanent post is then placed, and your restorative dentist cements a cap, or crown. Implants also support dentures and implant-supported bridges.
- You don't have to cut down adjacent teeth to support a replacement.
- Implants don't decay and don't need root canals.
- Implants help preserve your jawbone and a youthful facial profile.
- Enjoy foods such as steak and corn-on-the-cob with confidence again.
