Implants
A dental implant mimics the form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown. The crown is attached to the jawbone by way of the root. When decay has gone deep enough or when a periodontal disease has advanced enough to warrant an extraction, where the entire tooth, root and all, is taken out. The dental implant is a titanium screw that gets fitted into a socket in your jaw bone. Once the implant heals and gets incorporated with the bone, an artificial crown/cap will be placed on top. The new crown is customized to match your bite and the color of your teeth.
