A Dental Implant is an artificial tooth root.  Your jaw bone fuses with the implant to provide a secure platform for a prosthesis (artificial tooth).  If you are missing many teeth, several implants can be used to support a partial or complete denture. Through out the implant process you will work closely with a dental team.  Part of the team prepares your jaw and surgically places the implant.  Others build and adjust the prosthesis.  To learn whether you're a good candidate for dental implants, you will have a dental evaluation.  If you are good candidate for implants, the dental team will talk with you about a treatment plan.  You will also discuss the cost and time that may be involved. Call for a consultation today.
