Dental Implants

A dental implant is a permanent solution for missing or damaged teeth. It is made of two key components: the implant and the artificial tooth. The implant is made from titanium, while the artificial tooth can be made from a variety of materials, such as porcelain or resin.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

The first step of the implant procedure is to remove the damaged or decayed tooth. If your jawbone does not have enough bone to support an implant, a bone graft may be needed. The implant will then be inserted into the jawbone, where it will fuse to the bone. After that, the artificial tooth will be placed.

Caring For Your Dental Implants

Your dentist will provide instructions on caring for your new teeth at home. Like normal teeth, we recommend brushing and flossing these new teeth twice per day. After the implant has been placed, your dentist may request that you avoid certain foods to ensure the implant fuses to your jawbone.
