Implants are becoming more widely used and many patients are enjoying their benefits.
Implants start with tiny metal screws inserted into the jawbone.
The metal screw is used to hold a false tooth or set of false teeth in place. Implants are available to those who have enough bone in the area of the missing teeth. Implants are for those who are missing all of their teeth, those who want to replace a bridge or a partial denture or those who are missing only a single tooth. Removable bridges and dentures are always available, however many are choosing implants for their stability and appearance. Implants are screwed into the jawbone and may take up to three months for the implants to take root in the jawbone.
