Implant Restorations
The use of dental implants to replace lost teeth is one of the crucial developments in dentistry over the past three decades. Implants consist of titanium attachments, surgically embedded inside the jawbone and serving as a secure base for the substituted tooth/teeth. The shape of the titanium attachment is similar to the shape of the tooth root.
Losing permanent teeth due to an accident, aging, or periodontal disease can be difficult, but you can get back the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
Dental Implant Restorations facts:

The Dental Implant Restoration Process:
- The dental implant takes the place of the old root in the jaw bone
- Over the next 2-6 months the implant fuses to the bone becoming an anchor for the artificial tooth.
- The next step is to design the new replacement tooth. Once ready, the new tooth is attached to the implant – the patient will be able to chew and speak normally
- When a patient loses several teeth, an implant supported bridge can be created to replace the missing teeth.
