Adental implantis a small titanium screw that replaces the root portion of a missing natural tooth in a minor dental surgery. Over time, the medical-grade titanium integrates into the living bone cells of the jaw and creates a strong, durable anchor for new teeth. Dental implants typically come in three parts: the implant itself, the abutment or connector that supports the tooth, and the crown or prosthetic tooth.

As a relatively minor oral surgery, there can be some discomfort as a result of the placement procedure, but generally patients indicate there is less discomfort from an implant placement than a tooth extraction. Relaxation Dentistry will provide appropriate pain management options and will ensure your comfort throughout the process

Unlike complete dentures or removable partial dentures (RPDs), which can compromise your chewing ability up to 70% there are no chewing or eating restrictions with dental implants. Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution with an extremely high lifetime success rate. They also eliminate the need for altering tooth structure for the placement of fixed dental bridges or the need to wear a removable partial or complete denture.
