DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are a great solution for a missing tooth. When you are missing a tooth or end up needing to extract a tooth, a good option to replace it is a dental implant. It is a medical grade titanium alloy that is biocompatible with your own bone. An abutment and crown is then screwed onto the implant which is what you see below. A dental implant looks and feels like your tooth and can help with chewing, esthetics and function. Dental implant treatments have been around since the 1980s and have high success rates when done by a properly trained dentist.
