Implants

Dental implants are man-made appliances (cylinders and mesh frameworks) that are surgically placed into or onto the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the bone attaches to the implants, they become rock-solid anchors to support new teeth. Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function similar to real ones. Dental implant surgery can offer a welcome alternative to ill-fitting dentures or bridgework. The procedure takes approximately 3-6 months.
