Understand your options

Support for a replacement tooth.

A dental implant is a post placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or teeth. The visible restoration and the implant beneath it have different roles.

Planning considers oral and general health, healing and the type of restoration. Treatment can involve several stages; timing is individual rather than a one-visit promise.

Is everyone a candidate?

No. Health, oral conditions and healing factors need evaluation before suitability can be determined.

Will the replacement tooth be placed immediately?

Timing varies. Ask about the planned stages, healing period and any temporary replacement relevant to your care.
