What are dental implants? Dental implants are small titanium fixtures which are surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone. They replace the root of your missing tooth and provide an anchor for your crowns, bridges, or dentures. A natural appearance is achieved, and normal chewing and speech are maintained. What can implants do for me? Implants can replace a single missing tooth, without involving healthy adjacent teeth. Implants can also provide extra support for your existing denture, alleviating uncomfortable movement. In many cases, they may be placed to support a fixed bridge, eliminating the need for a removable denture. Is the procedure painful? The entire procedure is relatively painless. A gentle surgical procedure is performed to place the dental implant. After the gums have healed and the implant has integrated with the bone, the crown or bridgework is then attached to the top of the new implant. Want more information about implants?
