Dental Implants
Dental implants in Hialeah provide an artificial root in the jawbone to support a crown or prosthesis and replace missing teeth.
Overview
A dental implant is a metal structure placed surgically in the upper or lower jawbone. It serves as an artificial tooth root that supports a crown or another dental prosthesis. Implant treatment replaces missing teeth with the aim of restoring chewing function and the appearance of your smile.
Implants are usually made of titanium because it can integrate with bone. The crown or prosthesis attached to an implant may use ceramic or porcelain to resemble a natural tooth. The implant and its visible restoration have different roles, working together as parts of the tooth replacement.
