What Is a Dental Implant?
Click on images for detailed views.
When natural teeth are missing from
the mouth, artificial substitutes to replace the root portion
of teeth are put into the bone and gums of the mouth.
Replacement teeth are then fixed onto these new roots. Dental
implants allow people who are missing teeth to be able to smile,
speak, and chew well and comfortably.
These sections will help you understand the
benefits and risks involved with dental implants. Your dentist
can give you complete information on your specific situation and
help you decide if dental implants are for you.
