A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Dental implants do not become loose and do not need to be anchored to surrounding teeth, unlike dentures. Dental implants are a good option for those people who have issues along the gum line or ridges, and will not move when eating and speaking.
Implants are a good permanent solution for a consistent, healthy smile, but may take multiple visits to properly complete.
