Dental implants have been around for many years now. We first started doing dental implants for those patients who have dentures that can keep them in very well. Dental implants are small, titanium pieces that go underneath the gums and what it does is allows us to put anchors or attachments to them to help the denture kind of snap into place to give it stability when they eat, smile, and talk and give them confidence that it is not going to move and come out. Even more today, we are replacing teeth that are missing, individual teeth with implant so that if a patient has lost a tooth either in the front or the back, we can put a small titanium implant underneath the gums. We can actually make a tooth look like it is growing out of the gum again. They are cemented in place and they will not come in or out and it feels very natural. It allows us to replace teeth without doing what we call bridges, without drilling or messing with the teeth next to the space. It allows us to replace the tooth that is missing in a very natural way that oftentimes does not cost much more than a regular bridge.
