What is an implant?
A dental implant is a post placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or other restoration. Treatment is planned in stages and usually involves several appointments over a period of months.
An implant can support an individual crown or, in some cases, a bridge or denture. Your dentist can explain how the restoration would be planned for your mouth.
Planning your treatment
An implant is one of several ways to replace teeth. Your dentist can discuss your oral health, the treatment involved, alternatives and costs before you decide.
The time and steps required vary with each person’s needs. Some people may need additional treatment before an implant can be placed. We can discuss the expected stages, time and costs at your consultation.
