Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements, designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.
A small titanium fixture (implant) is placed in the bone in the site of the missing tooth and over time, the fixture fuses to the bone, acting as an anchor for the replacement tooth. This makes the entire structure highly secure and stable. A crown or bridge is then attached to the fixture above the gum.
Dental implant surgery, like all types of surgical procedures, carries some degree of risk. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from a qualified health practitioner.
