Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth. Generally are titanium screws which are placed in the position in which the tooth would normally. Titanium metal has proven that the human body usually accepts, and bone adheres to the material, fixing it in place. Titanium is the same metal as has been used for many years for procedures such as hip and knee replacements. Dental implants have been used for many years, and technology has constantly improved to where it is today with a high success rate. Our medical dental implant offers a lifetime warranty for implants placed.

Advantages of dental implants:

1. A Unlike a fixed dental bridge, neighboring teeth have to be grinded not to be used as abutments for the bridge. The implant replaces the lost tooth, independently of the neighboring teeth.
   
   
2. When a tooth is extracted, at the extraction site, begins to take place bone loss. After a year, the loss will begin to compromise the roots of neighboring teeth. An implant acts as the root of a tooth and holding the bone, stimulating the surrounding bone tissue to regenerate.

Disadvantages of implants:

1. The implants are more expensive than a fixed bridge, especially if bone graft is needed.
   
   
2. implant treatments take longer. If a bone graft is needed, often this should heal first before it can place the implant, (especially molars). Once the implant is in place, you will need to heal for 3-4 months before the abutment and crown can be put in place. All treatment generally takes 3 to 8 months, depending on whether a bone graft is needed or not, and the location of the implant. A fixed bridge can be done, usually in just a couple of days.
