Dental implants - What are they?

A dental implant is a titanium metal replacement for a root of a tooth that is surgically implanted in the jawbone.

 

Dental implants are the most natural replacement for a missing tooth.

 

As the body heals for approximately two to six months after the surgery, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant through a process called osseointegration.  The titanium is very biocompatible with the human bone that incorporates itself into the bone tissue.  After the healing phase is complete, the implants are used to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Dental implants are the most natural replacement for a missing tooth. For more information call us at (312) 704-5511.
