Implant Dentistry

One of the most recent advancement in restorative dentistry are dental implants. Although they may seem intimidating at first, dental implants can be the right choice for certain patients. Dental implants replace what is known as the root of the tooth. These implants are secured to the jawbone and made of lightweight but strong titanium that is biocompatible. The dental implant secures the crown in place.

Patients benefit from the implants as they decrease shifting of any natural teeth as well as keep crowns secured in the correct alignment. Dental implants are very sturdy and long lasting, but a restorative procedure may be needed in the future.
