A dental implant resembles a tiny screw made of titanium, and replaces the lost natural tooth’s root. For the long-term replacement of a single tooth or a row of teeth, implants are a good option. Once the implant has bonded to the bone, it can support the replacement tooth. Replacement teeth supported by implants have a natural appearance, feel, and performance. Dental implants maintain the face structure’s integrity and lessen the discomfort caused by tooth loss. Any person who has one or more missing teeth as a result of an accident, illness, or decay may be a candidate for dental implants. The benefits of dental implant treatment include improved appearance, enhanced ability to chew and enjoy your food, and often protection of your remaining teeth and jawbone. Dental implants offer many advantages never before available for the treatment of missing teeth. In short, dental implants will look, feel and function like your real teeth.
