What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a surgical procedure that replaces teeth roots to create a strong foundation for your replacement teeth. Replacement teeth can be permanent or removable made exactly like your natural teeth. Implants last several years or even a lifetime if you care about it.

Dental implants can improve your teeth’ appearance, help you eat and talk easier, and enhance your oral health.

You are the right candidate if:

• You are over 21 years old.

There are some important instructions on how to prepare for your procedure, which you should follow carefully to make your procedure more comfortable and safer.
