Implants

Implants are becoming more popular in the field of dentistry and are a great way to replace missing teeth. An implant is a titanium screw that is placed into the bone in a missing space. After proper healing time, an impression is taken and a crown is made to place on the implant.

An implant is a viable alternative to wearing a removable appliance such as a partial denture or complete denture. For those already wearing removable appliances, implants can be used to stabilize an ill-fitting denture. Implants can also be used instead of a bridge, therefore preventing the needless removal of tooth structure on adjacent teeth.
