A metal post is used to replace a tooth’s roots through the process of implant surgery. To optimally support a dental prosthesis, the implant is carefully positioned into the jawbone. When the post is in place, a process known as osseointegration causes the post to become a part of the bone, and the region is then allowed to heal.

As a result, you have a “built-in” support system for your tailored prosthesis, and dental implants are a highly successful therapy for those who are toothless.

Technology and surgical advancements in dental implants have made this procedure exceptionally effective with little discomfort or downtime. Each element of a dental implant supports the long-term effectiveness of this innovative procedure.
