If you’re missing teeth or living with damaged teeth, everyday activities like speaking or eating may become challenging. Fortunately, dental implants are a great restorative option. Dental implants are surgically implanted into the jaw to restore tooth functionality and appearance.

A dental implant is a small post surgically placed into the jaw to act as an artificial tooth root. When combined with an abutment, which connects it to the replacement tooth, the implant has the ability to support a crown, bridge, or denture to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. These restorations are customized to blend in with the surrounding natural teeth!
How long do dental implants usually last?
The dental implant procedure typically has long-lasting successful results. While each case will vary depending on the care provided, the implant screw itself can last a lifetime. As for the artificial connection, such as a dental crown or bridge, it may need replacement after several years due to wear and tear.
