Simply put, dental implants are the next evolutionary step in restoring a missing tooth or teeth.
Most people don't know dental implants have been around for decades. Unlike dentures, implants cannot be removed; they are permanently anchored directly into the jaw. Over time, the implant
(which is usually titanium) actually anchors itself into the jawbone and becomes permanent. The jawbone actually grows into the implant (osseointegration). You must have a health jawbone and
oral tissues for this operation, but if you're a candidate, there is no better way to restore permanently your smile.
After 2 to 6 months, the the mouth is healed from the operation, the implant can be used to anchor dentures, crowns and bridges.
