Dental implants create a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Implants are titanium posts inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. As your bone naturally bonds with the titanium, the post becomes a substitute for tooth roots. Implants also have small posts attached that extend through the gums and serve as stable anchors for replacement teeth.
Even if you already have bone loss, dental implants may be possible with bone grafting. Capistrano Dental offers bone grafting and dental implants that can offer a permanent solution to serious dental problems. Most implants last for many years if you take care of them and maintain a healthy mouth through good oral hygiene and regular appointments with your dentist.
