What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants are a long-lasting replacement for teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Dental implants are made of titanium and have an internal screw called an abutment that holds a false tooth in place. The dental implant process involves the’ titanium screw’ being inserted into the jawbone. Once the bone attaches firmly to the implant (osseointegration) a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant.

Dental implants replace one or more teeth without affecting adjacent teeth. Dental implants can support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
We can also offer implants which provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
