Dental Implants

Dental implants involve the placement of an artificial tooth root into the jaw to hold a replacement bridge or tooth. This procedure may be a suitable option for individuals who have lost one or more teeth because of periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

An ideal candidate for dental implants should be in good overall health as well as have good oral health. In order for the implant to be supported, you should also have a adequate amount of bone in the jaw. You should also have healthy gum tissue without periodontal disease.

Following your procedure, it is important to keep in mind that your dental implant should function just like your own natural tooth, which means it will require the same care. Brushing and flossing are still important to keep your implant healthy and free from plaque. Periodic follow-up visits are also critical to ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.
