Dental Implant

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically anchored into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. The benefit is that implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and they are very stable. Implants are a good solution to tooth loss because they look and feel like natural teeth.
Once in placed, implants can now be used to support bridges, crowns, dentures or eliminating the need for dentures altogether. The cost tends to be greater, but the implant supported crowns and bridges more closely resemble real teeth.
