Implants

A modern dental implant is one of the tooth replacement options for missing tooth/teeth. Strictly speaking, the dental implant is the replacement of the root (foundation) of a tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace one single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or even full arch (upper/lower jaws). It can be used to help anchor prosthesis (tooth/teeth) via Fixed (crown, bridge, hybrid) or Removable (Overdenture) options. Dental implants will NOT develop caries/decay/cavities like natural teeth; however, multiple risk factors can negatively impact the long-term success and survival of implants.
