A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge or denture.

After the implant is placed it needs several months to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). The abutment and replacement tooth are fitted once that is complete.

Candidates need healthy gums and enough jawbone. Your dentist evaluates your oral health and bone density at the first consultation.

It removes damaged or infected pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals to save the tooth.

Bleeding, swollen or receding gums, bad breath and loose teeth are common signs. Early treatment gives the best outcome.

Gum shaping (gum contouring) removes excess gum tissue to balance the proportion of teeth and gums, often using a laser.
