A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once anchored into the jaw, it creates a strong foundation for a dental crown, a dental bridge, or, as part of a series of dental implants, supporting an entire arch of dentures.
You may need a dental implant if:
- You have one or more missing teeth.
- You have teeth that need extracting.
- You currently wear traditional dentures and need a more permanent solution.
Either way, dental implants are the gold standard recommendation that allows you to eat, smile and be yourself. For most people, that’s life-changing!
