The Most Advanced Tooth Replacement System
Dental implants are made from a ‘body-friendly’ material called titanium. It is inserted into the jaw bone in order to replace a missing tooth or several teeth. This procedure is now very commonly done, in fact over 1 millions dental implants are placed each year in the United States.
The procedure involves just 3 steps. The first step is the placement of the implant usually utilizing just local anesthesia. After a healing period of roughly 3-6 months the second step is performed - the implant is uncovered and the gums are contoured around it. Thirdly, a tooth-shaped crown (cap) is attached onto the implant, thus restoring the patient’s ability to eat and smile.
