A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. It is a better alternative tooth replacement option to conventional bridges and dentures that may be uncomfortable and often rely on adjacent teeth to be prepared.

The ideal candidate for a dental implant is a person with good general and oral health, as well as healthy gums and adequate jawbone. Your dentist will do a preliminary oral examination to determine if you are candidate, as well as answer any questions you may have about the surgical procedure. A 3-D scan of the implant site will also be taken to better create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants. Book your appointment today to discuss further tooth replacement options.
