Dental Implants
A dental implant is a lifelike replacement tooth that mimics nature's design. The complete implant consists of a small titanium post, manufactured to highly precise specifications under strict sterile conditions, and a porcelain replacement tooth similar to a crown.
How are dental implants placed?
The implant post is placed into the socket left by a missing tooth. As jawbone naturally bonds to the biocompatible post, a secure foundation is formed. Dr. Latner can then place a dental implant restoration onto the post. Dental implants can replace individual teeth or secure a prosthetic appliance, like a bridge or denture.
Why should I choose implants to replace missing teeth?
Compared to former procedures, dental implants offer many benefits. They are more stable than traditional dentures and are as easy to clean and maintain as natural teeth. Because dental implants are integrated into the jaw, they stimulate bone and prevent bone and gum recession.
