Dental Implants and Dentures
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the social acceptance of dental implants. A dental implant is a man-made material that is inserted into the jawbone or periosteum via an invasive method and used to replace teeth. A dental implant's purpose is to act as a support for a prosthetic device, similar to a natural tooth root and crown. Dentures are tooth replacements that can be removed and reinserted into the mouth. Dentures can help to improve one's appearance and smile.
