WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?

Dental implants are tiny titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes and are surgically placed into the jawbone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for replacement teeth, which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gum. These posts provide stable anchors for the replacement teeth or prosthetics.

ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS AN OPTION FOR ME?

If it is recommended to place a dental implant, you will undergo an oral evaluation and your dental and medical history will be reviewed to ensure that dental implants are appropriate. X-rays and, frequently, panoramic or 3D images will be taken to evaluate the quantity of your jawbone and to determine if it is adequate for placement of dental implants.
