Dental Implants

What do you do when you have a missing tooth or teeth? One of the best choices is to replace the gap with an implant. The implant body is placed into the bone and allowed to integrate a bond for up to six months. After the implant is integrated, then an abutment is placed on the implant and then an implant crown is fabricated to mimic the surrounding teeth so that you are unable to tell that anything ever happened to the tooth. Dental implants can also be used to stabilize or strengthen removable appliances like dentures or partials. Implants are an incredible addition to dentistry. In the past adjacent teeth had to be cut down to have a bridge done, and now we are able to just replace the one tooth that is missing .
