Replace Your Missing Tooth With a Superior Dental Implant
Getting a dental implant is one of the ways in which you can replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, a small titanium shaft is surgically implanted into the bone and allowed to set. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, the dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth on top of the shaft. This permanent solution has its advantages over bridge work. It does not stress the surrounding teeth for support, and if the tooth wears out, it can simply be replaced.

Advantages of Getting an Implant
Implants can also be used to provide support as part of an implant bridge. This is an alternative to partial dentures and has several advantages.
- First, there is no adjustment period to acclimatize the patient who, once the work is done, only feels teeth, not metal supports, intruding into the mouth
- Second, this slows the bone loss occasioned by missing teeth
- Third, there is no discomfort or difficulty in eating. And, best of all, they don't have to be taken out all the time
