Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are permanent replacement teeth. A titanium dental implant is placed in your jaw in the empty tooth socket, and then a false tooth is attached to the implant via an “abutment.” The end result is a normal, healthy looking tooth that will last for a very long time and perform better than a regular tooth because it won’t corrode or decay. Because of this, dental implants have revolutionized the replacement of missing teeth. Always be sure to work with a trusted, quality dentist to provide state-of-the-art implant dentistry to replace the missing tooth.
This tooth replacement procedure can be off-putting to some patients because of the metal implant. There is also a very slight chance the implant will not integrate well with your body. However, these chances are very slim, and we always follow up with you after the procedure to be sure all is well. During your treatment, we walk you through what to expect following your dental implant procedure including aftercare to support the longevity of the implant.
