Missing Teeth
Missing Teeth
A missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant. An implant is typically a small screw-shaped attachment, usually made from titanium and is inserted within the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root.
There are a number of reasons as to why dental implants are so popular. These include:
- Implants are cleaner and more comfortable than dentures, plus they don't slip or move out of place.
- Implants help maintain the shape and structure of the jawbone (bone in a missing tooth area shrinks).
- Implants are an alternative to bridgework.
- Implants can improve a person’s confidence and self-esteem and are convenient to use.
