Here's a Quick Overview of Endosteal Implants:
When you lose an adult tooth, it’s important for your dental health that you get it replaced. If you don’t, you risk teeth shifting, further instability in the mouth, and additional tooth loss. It may also cause damage to the underlying bone. One option for replacing lost teeth is an endosteal implant, which is often referred to as a dental implant.
Learn who would be a good candidate for an endosteal implant, what the implantation procedure is like, and how to take care of an implant once you have it.
An endosteal implant is the most common type of dental implant. The process includes surgically inserting titanium screws into the jawbone.
