What is Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a prosthodontist
places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually
more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants
do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implants
are teeth that can look and feel just like your own!
Under proper conditions, such as placement by a prosthodontist,
adequate bone support and diligent patient maintenance,
implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue
to show improving success rates for implants.
