A dental implant is a root made out of titanium. It is attached to the jawbone to replace the root that would be found in a healthy natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is attached to the dental implant to hold the false tooth in place. An implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place. There can be many consequences if missing teeth are not replaced in a timely fashion.
Consequences of missing teeth with no replacement:
Our dentists may refer their patient to a specialist (Oral surgeon or Periodontist ) , as this type of dental implant requires surgery. This procedure is only meant for people who have healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the implants in place.
