A dental implant is a great way to replace a missing tooth! A dental implant is a surgical fixture, usually a titanium post that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of several months. It is then used to hold a replacement tooth, bridge, or even a denture.
Having a dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth because it does not affect the adjacent teeth and has great stability.
To receive a dental implant you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial to the long term success of the implant.
