Dental implants are metal posts (shaped similar to a screw) that are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth root providing a long-tern base for secure, stable and comfortable tooth replacement. Implants integrate with the bone of the jaw forming a strong, durable, long term anchor for new teeth as well as keep the bone itself from deteriorating. Because it integrates with your jawbone, dental implants are the only dental restoration option
