Intro To Dental Implant Surgery

If you no longer believe in the efficacy of conventional dentures, crowns, and bridges, you can turn toward dental implant surgery. According to statistics, around 3 million people have dental implants in the United States, and the number is expected to grow as the years go by. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone. They allow the dentist to insert new replacement teeth or crowns into the jawbone. Types of dental implants include endosteal implants, which is more common and are placed “in” the bone, and subperiosteal dental implants, which dentists place “on” the bone.
