A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into the jaw by an oral surgeon to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implants are very natural looking and feeling. You may forget that you lost a tooth! Working as a team with your oral surgeon we will provide the final crowns or bridges.
