Implant Restoration

The Dental Implant

The procedure is technically known as an endosseous implant.

The implant behaves like an artificial root on top of which a new artificial porcelain tooth can later be screwed in or cemented.

The implant is serted surgically in the existing jawbone and can remain in place for years.
The procedure to place the implant is a minor, two-step surgical process.

While some people express concern at undergoing minor surgery, the procedure is actually less invasive than having a tooth removed.

There is another significant, therapeutic benefit to implants: They prevent further bone loss and help maintain ridge form.
