Dental Implants
A dental implant is a post made of metal that is designed to replace missing teeth. It is made out of titanium and is placed surgically into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. The restoration uses a post and a crown to closely replicate your missing tooth. Unlike a bridge, an implant is a perfect alternative, so surrounding teeth are not involved, especially if they are healthy and require no treatment.
