Dental Implants Restorations

A dental implant is designed to replace one or more missing teeth, providing a stable and permanent solution. Typically made of titanium, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months, becoming a solid foundation for a restoration. Once fully healed, the implant can support prosthetic teeth, such as a single crown, bridge, or full dentures, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.

If you have a missing tooth, a small titanium screw is placed into your jawbone by your oral surgeon. Once the implant fuses with the bone, it serves as an artificial root, providing a strong base for a restoration. This restoration, whether a crown, bridge, or dentures, not only restores your oral function but also improves the overall appearance of your smile.

She then bonds them together with a permanent dental glue. You now have a healthy, beautiful smile that will last for many years.
