What is a Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n

A dental implant is an oral surgery procedure that restores the normal function of your entire jawbone structure by replacing missing teeth. The procedure involves inserting titanium posts under your gums and into the bone structure. After a period of healing, where your jawbone fuses with the titanium, you will return to your dentist to have either the crown, bridge or dentures attached.<\/p>\n

Crowns are used for 1 to 2 missing teeth, but if there are 3 or more consecutive teeth missing, then a bridge is used. Implant-supported dentures are used for more severe tooth loss, and differ from traditional dentures in that they are attached to implant posts, instead of just relying on an adhesive.<\/p>\n
