Implants are a great option for replacing missing teeth. A titanium "screw" is placed in your bone by an oral surgeon. The surgeon covers the screw with your gum tissue to let it heal. This screw heals for 3-6 months, depending which tooth is being replaced. The bone integrates around the screw. After it is healed, the screw is uncovered. A dentist then bonds a "tooth" on the screw. Once it is complete, the implant functions and looks like a normal tooth. You can eat and floss like normal. Most patients say the implant does not hurt being placed.
Know anything about dental implants?
I'm having one in a couple of weeks on one of my back teeth. I had a root canal that didnt take and this is my next option. The person above explained it perfectly.
