Dental implants are metal frames or posts that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow dentists to mount replacement teeth or bridges into that area.

The reason dental implants are so versatile is because they can be used to replace missing teeth, support a bridge without the need for altering adjacent teeth, or they can also be used to help stabilize & secure a set of removable dentures in place. They also help to prevent & preserve the remaining bone structure & helping to avoid the problems associated with the loss of natural teeth, such as the gradual & permanent wearing away of the jawbone & changes to facial aesthetics that may result from missing teeth.

Dental implants have become the gold standard for tooth replacement over the last three decades. They are the closest thing you can get to having a natural tooth again & they also help to maintain the health & integrity of the jaw, helping to prevent & reduce bone loss & helping to avoid issues related to the shifting of surrounding teeth.
