A dental implant is one option that could be suggested when a patient has a missing tooth.
Dental implant services include replacing the root of a tooth with a titanium screw placed within the gum to form a secure foundation.
The replacement tooth is made of ceramic or a special plastic (sometimes on a metal base), and it is fitted on top of the titanium root.
For multiple missing teeth, titanium roots can be used to anchor a denture or bridge firmly in place.
If you think implants may be something you would like more information on, please contact our practice and book a consultation with your dentist.
