IMPLANTS

When a tooth is lost due to infection, cracked tooth syndrome or if it was congenitally missing, we will sometimes opt to replace it with an implant. These are hollow titanium screws that are placed in the bone to replace the missing tooth. The bone actually grows into the implant and integrates with the screw. A crown can then be screwed into the hollow implant an effectively replace the missing tooth, restoring form, function and esthetics.
