Dental implants are a permanent alternative to bridges or dentures to replace missing teeth. Not only are implants comfortable and look like natural teeth, they can also help prevent bone loss in your jaws.
How implants work
Implants are similar to artificial tooth roots, and they serve a similar purpose. The implant is surgically placed in your jawbone, where it forms a foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or implant denture. A single implant is used to replace a single missing tooth with a crown, and multiple implants may be used to support a larger restoration such as a bridge or denture. Implant-supported restorations are permanent and as stable and strong as your natural teeth.
