If not taken care of, a broken or missing tooth can cause bad breath, gingivitis, and a plethora of other issues. Besides being a cosmetic issue, teeth loss can also affect the function of your mouth. It is vital to address the issue quickly to avoid permanent damage, periodontal disease, gum recession, and bone loss.

Made from titanium posts and fused with to the bone, dental implants replicate the roots of the teeth. They are placed surgically into the bone to ensure they stop at the height of your gum line.
You should allow the site healing for three months for the lower jaw and four months for the upper jaw. It is advisable to let the site heal for six months if bone grafting was performed.
After healing, we will proceed to the next part of the implant, which is the crown. The crown can either be cemented or screwed.
