If a tooth has been lost, or extracted, the gap can be replaced with a bridge, denture, or implant.

Dental implants are artificial roots which are surgically placed into the bone or under the gum creating a comfortable and effective foundation for the replacement of missing teeth.

Most implants are metallic and most commonly are made from titanium due to its biocompatible properties which allow for the jawbone to grow onto the surface. This property allows the dentist to attach crowns, bridges or dentures to implants in a variety of designs and configurations to suit your individual needs.
