Dental Implants

A dental implant is a device designed to replace missing teeth. The device is usually made from titanium and is surgically inserted into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. A dental implant is designed to act as the tooth root and can anchor an artificial tooth or teeth such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Your dentist may work with a specialist to create a customized implant for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth, or to replace a removable appliance.
