DENTAL IMPLANTS
What are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are Titanium screws that are placed into either the upper or lower jawbone. An implant serves as a basis on which a crown, bridge or denture can be placed.
It integrates into your bone and functions in a similar way to natural tooth root.
Am I suitable for Dental Implants?
Most people who are in good general health are good candidates for dental implants. X-Rays and 3D scans will be taken to see if you have sufficient quality and quantity of bone to get an implant.
When teeth are lost the jawbone begins to shrink. Implants on the other hand stimulates bone maintenance. The sooner you decide to have implants placed, the less bone loss would have taken place.
