Unlike dental bridges or dentures, a dental implant functions the same as your natural teeth and helps prevent future bone loss.

When you have a missing tooth or teeth, the biting forces change on the remaining teeth. Your remaining teeth can shift and begin to extrude out of their socket, ultimately resulting in further tooth loss.

Also, it is hard to clean and reach teeth that have shifted. Dental Implants are thin metal screws, usually made of titanium, that are inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth or teeth.

There are a variety of dental implants:

1. •Single-Tooth Implant
   

2. •Two-Implant Bridge
   

3. •Upper Jaw Implants
   

4. •Lower Jaw Implants
