An implant fixture is a titanium cylinder
which is placed in the bone as a replacement for the root of
a tooth.
The tooth replacement is attached to the
implant fixture.
ADVANTAGES OF IMPLANTS
Implant restorations are the closest thing to
your own teeth.
Implants have one of the highest success rates of any dental
restoration.
Implants last - and don't decay.
Almost a half a million implants were placed last year.
The Dental Profession has over 30 years of clinical experience
with implants.
DISADVANTAGES OF IMPLANTS
If you are in a hurry, implants are probably not
for you.
Bone grafts are sometimes needed.
Time has to be allowed for healing.
Implant therapy may cost more than conventional tooth replacement.
