Hi, I broke my teeth on basketball, and I will have Dental Implants procedure in couple of days. I don’t know what to expect. Can you tell me something about this procedure? What will they do to me?

A dentist will place an artificial tooth root into your jaw that will hold a replacement tooth. It will look the same as your other teeth, and it won’t be easy to tell the difference. Dental Implants are used for people who have all the other teeth healthy, but lost only one or two because of some disease or injury. It might need some time to get used to your new tooth, but it won’t be a problem, because those implants are natural-looking and feeling. There are more types of Dental Implants today. Endosteal is most commonly used, and it’s put inside the bone. There is also subperiosteal that is used in other cases. Dental Implants are the best solution to your problem, better than dentures and bridges for several reasons- esthetic, tooth-saving, confidence and reliable.
