A dental implant is a titanium-based cylinder that replaces the missing tooth root, eventually allowing the dentist to place a crown over the implant. With excellent success rates and a variety of options, dental implants have become a great alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants can also be used to support full or partial dentures, dramatically improving retention and stability.
Most patients with enough bone to take the implant can have one placed, however, your dentist can advise on your eligibility.
