Overview

Dental Implants are replacements for tooth roots and missing or damaged tooth. The procedure replaces damaged or missing tooth with metal (Titanium) screw-like posts and artificial ceramic teeth that look and work like any normal tooth, only much better.
The implants could be done for one tooth to several teeth or the entire teeth set. Dental implants are better alternatives to conventional techniques such as ‘bridges’. Due to the great extent of relief offered by this procedure and this being very similar to natural teeth, Dental Implants are seen as a welcome technique desired by many.
