What You Need To Know About A Dental Implant Procedure
A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is surgically positioned
into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows your dentist to mount
replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. An implant doesn't come loose like a
denture can. Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not
have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges.
Each implant consists of a metal fixture that is inserted into the jawbone and a
protruding post, which is outfitted with an artificial tooth. Implants can also
support a bridge, replace a partial denture or secure a fixed denture. The process
may be completed in one visit or take several months for completion depending
on the complexity of the case.
Dr. John M. Hucklebridge understands an attractive smile can not only enhance
one’s appearance but also greatly elevate his or her self-confidence. For more
