An implant is a titanium ‘root’ that can be placed into the jawbone. Once integrated with your bone, the implant can be used to support a crown or bridge, or to secure a complete denture. Dental implants may be used to eliminate partial plates and dentures.
Implants have been used successfully for over 30 years, and have a high success rate. They function and feel like your natural teeth. Dental implants are now the standard of care for replacing missing teeth.
All surgical procedures carry risk and it is advised to receive a full clinical evaluation and options before proceeding.
