Dental implant surgery

Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces damaged or missing
teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real
ones. Dental implant surgery can offer a welcome alternative to
ill-fitting dentures or bridgework.

How the surgery is performed depends on the type of implant and the
condition of your jawbone. But all dental implant surgery occurs in
stages and involves several procedures. The entire process can take
many months.

Although most adults are candidates for the procedure, dental implant
surgery is expensive and often not covered by insurance. Still, if you
have difficulty eating or talking or simply want better looking teeth
you may find that dental implant surgery is well worth the time and
expense.
