Schertz Dental Implants
When you lose a tooth, a dental implant may be needed to replace the
tooth root and crown. Dental implants are simply "anchors" that
permanently support replacement teeth. They are secure and durable and
can be cleaned and cared for much like your natural teeth.
The
procedure requires a titanium root be fitted into your jaw to replace
the lost tooth's root. Once the implant is anchored into the bone, the
bone around the implant requires six weeks to six months of healing.
Once the bone has healed, a support post and replacement tooth is
anchored onto the implant.
