If you are self-conscious about missing teeth, there’s an alternative that may be right for you: Dental Implants, they offer comfort and stability and, because of the artificial tooth it supports, it is a therapy that is the closest thing to a natural tooth.

An option for replacing missing teeth,  How can I benefit from a dental implant?

Implants are replacement tooth roots. Restorations are screwed or cemented onto implants, usually after a waiting period that allows the bone time to heal. It is possible to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.    The implant resembles a metal screw that is surgically placed in the alveolar bone. Most often the metal is titanium because it is compatible with human tissue.   The implant integrates with the bone tissue through a biological bonding process called osseointegration. Osseointegration usually takes 3 to 6 months following surgery.
