Address: 20 Ashley Rd, Edison, NJ 08817 Phone: (973) 737-8473 About US Dental implant surgery is when metal posts are used to replace tooth roots, and artificial teeth are installed to replace missing or damaged teeth. Additional teeth are placed on improving the aesthetics and function of the smile. A great alternative to dentures or bridgework when dentures don’t fit well, and there are no natural teeth roots is dental implants. Affordable dental implant placement may include several procedures. Implants provide a strong foundation for replacing missing teeth. This is usually accomplished by having the bone surrounding the implant heal tightly. In contrast to fixed bridgework or dentures, which may slip, make noise, or damage your bone, implants fuse with your jawbone. Additionally, the materials will not decay like your own teeth that support regular bridgework.
