Implants - artificial tooth supports surgically set in the jaw - can be used to replace any number of missing teeth. This procedure usually works best for those adults who experience discomfort with conventional dentures but who still have healthy gums, adequate bone to support the implant, and a commitment to oral hygiene.
Implants often require outpatient or office surgery and take from several weeks to nine months to complete.
These small titanium cylinders function as artificial tooth roots and anchor your artificial teeth, bridgework and/or dentures giving you comfort and chewing capacity.
