Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Here’s an overview of dental implants:
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. These posts allow the dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. Implants fuse to your jawbone, providing stable support for artificial teeth.
Who Is a Candidate?
Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Good candidates include those who have:
1- Healthy gums and sufficient bone to hold the implant 2 – Commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits 3 – No health conditions that might interfere with bone healing
