Dental Implants
Dental implants are a common surgical tooth replacement option. They provide support for artificial teeth like crowns, bridges and dentures. Dental implant placement may require a few procedures and several months of healing. But once an implant heals, you can use it just like a natural tooth. With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, threaded posts that surgically replace missing teeth. In addition to filling in gaps in your smile, dental implants improve chewing function and overall oral health. Once healed, implants work much like natural teeth.
What conditions are treated with dental implants?
Dental implants treat tooth loss, which can happen due to:
- Cavities.
- Cracked teeth.
- Gum disease.
- Teeth that never
- develop (anodontia).
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism).
