Dental Implants are predictably a highly successful way of replacing a missing tooth. A dental implant is a titanium screw which is placed into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing natural tooth. The jaw bone fuses into the implant to forms a secure foundation for a tooth replacement crown. Dental Implants also prevent bone loss and gum recession that is common with dentures. The end result is a tooth replacement that looks, feels and functions similar to a natural tooth
