Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial substitutes for missing teeth. Through a short surgical procedure, replacement teeth are put into the bone and gums to replace the root portion of the missing tooth, thereby, enhancing a natural look. Implants improve patients’ smiles and the ability to chew comfortably.
