What Is A Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone to serve as an artificial root of a tooth. Once an implant is surgically placed, a crown is attached to the implant to replace a missing tooth. Implants look and feel much like natural teeth, and once the crown is attached, they function exactly like natural teeth.
Dental implant is one of the best ways to replace a missing tooth. Multiple implants can be used to replace many missing teeth. Implants allow patients with missing teeth to properly chew and speak, and also improve the look of your smile.
Immediate Implant (Same Day Implant)
Immediate implant placement refers to the surgical insertion of the implant into the jawbone immediately after the removal of a natural tooth, all in a single appointment.
If bone condition allows, then a temporary crown can be attached to the implant on the same day as well. With immediate implants, you won’t have to wear an uncomfortable partial denture or leave a gap in your smile while the implants heal for a few months.
