What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium anchors that are placed surgically into the jawbone
to hold permanent replacement teeth or dentures. It can be one of the nicest presents
you could give yourself.
 How
does it work?
The procedure and follow-ups are preformed in the dental office using local
anesthetic. During surgery, titanium dental implants are placed within the jawbone
to serve as anchors for the posts that will eventually support the replacement
teeth. Generally, three to six months are then allowed for the bone tissue to
grow around the implants and hold them securely in place. Once the jawbone has
firmly healed around the implants, the replacement teeth or dentures are securely
attached to the post(s).

are available?
