If a tooth or teeth have been lost, or extracted, the gap can be filled using implants. Dental implants are titanium posts that closely resemble the shape of the original root. Once sited in the jawbone, the implant remains unused for several weeks to allow the bone to grow around the implant. Once the implant has successfully integrated, an impression is taken and the crowns, bridge, or denture is made and then attached to the implant. Implants are generally a comfortable and effective replacement for missing teeth. They look and feel quite natural, and can be expected to last for 20+ years.
