DentalImplants

Dental implants are artificial roots (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone. The crown is replaced the missing teeth space.

1. Why you need to do dental implants:
   Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
   Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.
2. Getting dental implants involve:
   The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
