What is a dental implant?

• A dental implant is an artificial root placed in the jaw bone to support either a crown, bridge, or denture. The implant is titanium and permits your body to fuse (osteointegrate) with the implant

Benefits

• Replace a missing tooth without drilling on a neighboring tooth.
• Maintain the same chewing force as a natural tooth (a denture has 1/3 to 1/4 the force as a natural tooth)
• Stabilize a denture – multiple implants hook on the inside of a denture to secure it during use
• Implants come in different sizes for different types of bone. Dr. La Monica primarily uses the implant that will be best fit for your bone type and situation.
