Implant
A dental implant is a Titanium post that is surgically placed into your jaw bone. It is made up of the same material commonly used for hip and knee replacements. Implants are placed in areas of missing teeth.
They acts as a firm anchorage for a crown, also known as a cap, bridge or even a denture.
Implants are safe, however, good oral hygiene must still be performed around the post, exactly like cleaning your own teeth.
If you would like to know more about this procedure to see if this is right for you, call us for an appointment and one of our dentists will be able to help you out.
