Dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular method for replacing missing teeth.Dental implants are not only used for individual tooth replacement, but can also be used when replacing multiple teeth as an alternative to dentures. Although a little more expensive, dental implants bring high value to your overall look and well-being. They are extremely natural looking as they involve a fusion of the implants into your jaw making them very stable and comfortable compared to traditional dentures. They also last a lifetime. If you have a healthy strong jawbone and healthy gums, you are likely a great candidate for tooth implants.
What to expect: During the procedure, a metal anchor is inserted into the jawbone. Small titanium posts are then attached directly to these metal anchors. The replacement teeth are then attached directly to the small posts. This process will usually take three to six months to complete but it will normally not interrupt your normal daily schedule in any major way.
