What are Implants?

Dental Implants have been used successfully for many years. In fact, dental implants are the best and most advanced way to replace missing teeth. The implant itself is a post that is surgically placed in the jaw. There the implant acts like an artificial tooth root. A prosthesis (artificial tooth or teeth) is then attached to the post. Dr. Nugent is a leader in dental implant treatment. He has a 3-D Xray and 3-D printer to make a implant surgical guide to make implant surgery extremely accurate.

What are Dental Implants Used For?

There are two basic uses for Dental Implants:

As an artificial root for a fixed prosthesis (usually a single tooth or fixed bridge).
As anchors for a removable prosthesis (usually an Implant Denture).

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Implants are considered as a better alternative to Dentures, Partials, or Bridges. When replacing a missing tooth in the front of the mouth, nothing looks more natural than an implant.
