Changing the way people live, dental implants are a viable solution to impacted or missing teeth. They are tiny titanium posts that Atlantic Oral Surgery surgically places into your jawbone where teeth are missing. The titanium anchors act as root substitutes and create a secure bond for an artificial tooth.
These teeth replacements are great for preserving the facial structure and preventing bone from deteriorating in the jaw. The procedure for implanted teeth involves two steps: placement of the artificial tooth's anchor and placement of the tooth. Dental implant procedures typically take six to eight weeks from start to finish.
