Implants
When a tooth is lost due to injury or disease, a person can experience complications such as rapid bone loss, defective speech, or changes to chewing patterns that result in discomfort. Replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and health.
A dental implant is a metal post that replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. A prepared base is then used by the dentist to place an artificial tooth, also known as a crown, on an extension of the post of the dental implant (abutment), giving you the look of a real tooth.
Dental implants are a long-term solution to restore the appearance and function of natural teeth. They can help with chewing and improve a person's smile.
Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. They can also reduce the risk of cavities and problems with adjacent teeth.
