Dental Implants
If a tooth is missing or broken to a point that the root is damaged,
a titanium artificial root can be implanted in place of the natural root.
Within three to six months, the dental implant bonds with your bone, at which
point, a crown can be placed over the implant. Since the dental implant becomes
part of the jaw, it looks and feels so natural that you just may forget
it's an implant at all! On average, dental implants cost between $1,500- $3,500 per tooth.
Why opt for a dental implant over a bridge? Dental implants have one primary
advantage: when an implant is placed, the bone is stimulated, thus preserved.
With a bridge, most patients experience bone atrophy. Dental implants have enhanced longevity
and may be more aesthetically pleasing than a crown or bridge.
