Implants

Implants are artificial tooth made out of titanium metal that is composed of 3 parts, the post, the abutment and the crown. The post is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing natural tooth. The implant serves as the anchor for the replacement tooth. The abutment is the connecting piece between the post and the crown. In other words it helps connect the anchor to the tooth. Lastly, the crown or the artificial tooth is placed on top of the abutment, finishing the implant. The finished implant would look identical to the missing tooth so it will look like you never lost that tooth in the first place. If you have lost a tooth in an accident or a tooth was removed due to severe decay then implants will be your best choice to regain that sparkling smile. Consult with our dentists before pursuing such an expensive treatment as they will guide you through the specifics and see if an implant best suits your situation.
