Dental implant surgery is a method that replaces the roots of the teeth with metal pins that look similar to screws and replaces the missing or damaged tooth with an artificial tooth that looks and functions just like real teeth. This surgery is often used to treat patients who have lost one or more teeth due to injury or disease. Surgery can be performed by a dentist or oral surgeon, and the recovery process is usually quick and relatively painless.

How do I know if I need a dental implant?

Dental implants are a very popular way to replace missing teeth. They are surgically installed in the maxillary bone and act as the roots of missing teeth. The titanium in the implants fuses with the jawbone, making them very stable and secure. This also means they won’t slip, rattle, or damage bone like bridges or dentures do.

The procedure is simple and quick, and offers a number of advantages over other methods of tooth replacement.
