A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
What are the advantages of an implant ?
Appearance: The replacement teeth that dental implants are built to hold will appear identical to your surrounding teeth. No one will know you have a replacement tooth.
Reliability: The success rates of dental implants are highly predictable. When placed by a periodontist and with diligent at-home maintenance, a dental implant can last for many years.
Confidence: Because they are secured into the jaw, dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to confidently smile, speak, and eat.
Comfort: Dental implants fuse into your jawbone, becoming permanent. Unlike dentures, they will stay comfortably in place and do not require messy adhesives.
Improved Oral Health: Because the adjacent teeth are not affected by dental implants, your long-term oral health is not compromised.
How are dental implant placed ?
First the dental implant, a small titanium post, is placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth is. Over the next few months your jawbone will grow around the dental implant. Once the jawbone has fused with the dental implant, an abutment, which attaches to the replacement tooth, will be placed.

Root coverage procedures are often used to treat gums that have receded to the point that the roots of a tooth are exposed. Various methods are used to add gum tissue where needed on your natural teeth , or around dental implants. In some cases, this procedure can cover exposed roots to protect them from decay or to prepare your teeth for orthodontic treatment.
