The loss of one or more tooth may significantly effect a person’s day to day lifestyle along with the appearance of their smile. Once a tooth is missing, it may alter the frame and shape of an individual’s mouth.

A dental implant is manufactured from titanium material. The dentist will secure each titanium implant into the bone. The implant is capable of supporting various tooth restorations including dental crowns, to multiple dental bridges. Each time a dental implant is fixed into the bone, it bonds to the jaw and functions similar to the root of a natural tooth.

Implant dentistry is usually a beneficial option for any individual with good overall health and are administered during a surgical procedure while the patient is under local anesthetic.
