Dental Implants

A dental implant is used to replace the root of a missing tooth. To prevent complications, the implant is made of a biocompatible material (usually titanium). Once inserted in the jawbone, a crown can be fastened to the implant.

Why use dental implants?

• Bone mass maintenance 
• Appearance resembling a natural tooth
• Improved articulation and chewing 
• Simpler dental hygiene compared to a denture
