Think Implants Frequently asked questions about dental implants.
Dental implants are medically pure titanium devices that are placed into the jawbone.
They act as an anchor to provide a solid base for artificial tooth replacement. In some instances, patients may not have sufficient bone available for the placement of implants. For these patients, new bone can be added by ridge augmentation procedures. Patients have stated that they eat better, eat foods that had been denied them with dentures, are more comfortable when they eat and don't have to use guck to retain their dentures. They also say that can talk and laugh without feeling self-conscious and without fear of their dentures slipping out.
