Dr. Hull - Dental Implants Dental implants are usually an alternative treatment to a bridge or partial denture to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants are a rapidly growing treatment option in dentistry today.
With continued use and continuous research, the success rate of dental implants is steadily increasing. A dental implant is the placement of a biocompatible metal post into a place in the mouth where one or more teeth are missing. This metal post is then restored with a crown, bridge or other restoration in order to restore function, and aesthetics to a mouth with missing teeth. In order to receive an implant, you must be a acceptable candidate. This means that there are many factors involved in the success of an implant.
