SERVICES :: IMPLANTS
Dental implants are metal posts that resemble screws. They are surgically placed in the jawbone underneath the gums. There is a healing period during which the bone grows around the implant. After the bone is firmly around the implant, a crown or bridge or partial or full denture can be attached to the implants, depending on the situation.
Implants, however, are not an option for everyone. Because implants require surgery, patients must be in good health, have healthy gums, have adequate bone to support the implant and be committed to meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits. If you are considering implants, a thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine if you would be a good candidate.
