Dental implants
In modern dentistry, dental implants provide patients with the longest-lasting tooth replacement option. Implants help preserve the tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost. The best part is implants will never decay and will not require a root canal treatment. Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, all your teeth, or support removable dentures.
Typically, a dental implant consists of a small, screw-shaped titanium post that replaces the root of the missing tooth. During the minor surgical procedure, patients are provided with local anesthesia as the dentist directly inserts the the screw in place of the missing tooth. After the implant heals and fuses to the surrounding bone, a crown is custom-made and placed.
