Dental Implants- An artificial tooth that is anchored in the gums or jawbone to replace a missing tooth. Dental implants have been around for several years and they are constantly evolving. Implants are generally titanium posts placed into the mandible or maxilla bones of your mouth. They are stabilized there and then restored with a crown or bridge. They have surpassed expectations and need just good oral hygiene habits to last. Dental Implants now replace the need to be missing teeth in the mouth.                       
"Dental Implant restorations are highly sophisticated medical devices that require a level of understanding that goes above and beyond the concepts of traditional dentistry, if they are to have the high level of success they deserve & be of benefit to our patients." This quote was from a speaker at a recent course I attended. I believe it is important that the patient receives the highest quality of care when doing anything in Dentistry, and especially Implants.
