What is a dental implant?
An implant is made up of a metal post which replaces your missing tooth’s root and a natural looking crown. The post is inserted into the jaw bone, making it strong and stable. Further, attached to this post is what is called an abutment, over which a crown is placed. Instead of having a gaping hole, you now have a natural looking tooth!
Do I need a dental implant?
When a tooth is extracted we often need another tooth to replace it. In fact, if we fail to do this, it can result in problems for surrounding teeth. What are these problems and how can a dental implant help?
Replace One or More Missing Teeth
