What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are considered the gold standard to tooth replacement due to their security in the jaw, natural appearance and lifelike function. Implants are composed of three parts; a biocompatible titanium post securely placed in the jaw, a natural-looking dental crown above the gum lime, and an abutment used to connect the two together. Dental implants are surgically placed within your jaw bone, so choosing an experienced oral surgeon can help you avoid potential complications that those without advanced medical training and backgrounds may not have experienced. We utilize advanced computer-generated implant guides when placing dental implants, to remove guesswork and guides our doctors into the exact depth, angle and position for optimum aesthetic and functional results. position for optimum aesthetic and functional results.
