A dental implant is an artificial tooth that is rooted and placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or dental bridge.

Dental implants do not become loose and do not need to be anchored to surrounding teeth, unlike dentures. Dental implants are the best option for those people who have issues along the gum line or ridges, and will not move when eating and speaking. Implants are a good permanent solution for a consistent, healthy smile, but may take multiple visits to properly complete the treatment.
