While your dental implant can have an important role to play in restoring your incomplete smile, the implant itself is not used to replace a missing tooth by itself. What an implant does is serve as an artificial root for the restoration you receive. A single implant can hold a single crown, while a series of implants can be effective at keeping a larger prosthetic piece, like a denture, secure.

Taking care of missing teeth can give you renewed confidence in how you look, while also helping improve your dental function. (more…)
