Dental implant a replacement of lost tooth

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a periodontist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge and there are so natural looking that you don't feel that you having a lost tooth and even your friends will never notice that you are having a false tooth.


A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge.
