Dental implants are state-of-the-art in tooth replacement, and they are available at The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City.
A dental implant, sometimes called a tooth implant, is a metal (usually titanium) post surgically placed into the jaw to replace a missing tooth root. An artificial tooth is securely and permanently attached to the post. Titanium is strong and well tolerated by the human body. Cases of rejection are rare.
Dental implants offer a long-term solution to tooth loss. Are you a good candidate for tooth implant surgery?
Because the metal rod is implanted into the jaw bone, patients must have enough healthy bone at the implant site. Patients who don’t can receive bone grafting to promote enough new bone growth.
Age is rarely a factor. That said, you must be old enough: that is, your jaw bone must be sufficiently developed. Dental implants have been successful in adults of all ages.
To find out whether you are a good candidate for dental implants, please call us at The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City. People from Millcreek and Holladay also come to us for complete family and children’s dentistry. Schedule an appointment today!
