The implant process begins when a metal post is surgically positioned into the jaw. This post will act as a permanent root for the implanted tooth. Once it is in place, the surrounding bone and tissue needs time to heal.
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and last many years. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework, because they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.
