IMPLANTS

Modern dentistry offers a great way to correct the problem of missing teeth: dental implants. Implants are tiny titanium posts placed into the jaw bone to provide a foundation for replacement teeth. Used instead of conventional crowns and dentures, dental implant technology can help preserve jaw bone strength while giving more comfort and a natural-looking smile.

Usually, the dental implant process has three steps:

• The implant is surgically implanted into the jaw bone.
• Over a period of time the jaw bone actually heals painlessly around the implant to hold it strongly in place.
• A customized tooth, designed with the right size, shape and color to blend in with other teeth, is placed on the implant.
