If you are missing teeth, then you should talk to a dentist about the benefits of dental implants. This treatment is designed to be a long-term solution to fill in the gaps and help you maintain a healthy jaw bone. A strong post will be inserted into the jaw bone in place of the missing tooth. Over time, the jaw bone is strengthened as the post is assimilated into the bone. Then, a crown is placed on top of the post.

When a dental implant is placed, it functions in the same way as a natural tooth. So, you will have normal functioning while talking and eating. Plus, many people find that their self-confidence is boosted because of the improvement in their smile!
