What is Dental Implant?
by Dr. Maya Shantikumar A Healthy Mouth for a Healthy BodyA dental implant is a titanium implant screw placed in the jaw. It supports a crown that will replace a patient's missing tooth.
Dental Implants are an option for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury or disease. Dental implants are different from dentures and other tooth replacement solutions because they involve the surgical placement of titanium posts in the jawbone. Over a period of a few months, these titanium posts fuse with the bone, which allows them to act as stable replacements for natural tooth roots. Replacement teeth are then secured to the titanium posts to provide natural-looking, sturdy restorations.
Dental implants can be placed with little to no discomfort to the patient. Sedation techniques are utilized to help ensure that the patient is relaxed and comfortable.
If you are missing any or all of your natural teeth, dental implants and dental implants can transform your smile. Contact a Dental Choice office in Edmonton or Calgary, Alberta today!
