Dental Implants

There is no reason to live with a decaying tooth or missing tooth when dental implants are available through General & Cosmetic Dentistry in Kapolei, HI. Opt for dental implants to replace your lost, extracted or damaged tooth and you will feel as though you have a brand new natural tooth in your mouth. The dental implant added to your mouth will connect with your jawbone through titanium rods. The process in which the two connect has the potential to take months. However, once complete, you will have the foundation necessary for the faux teeth known as dental implants to be added to your mouth.

The dentist will position an abutment on the base of the dental implant. A crown is then connected to the top. The end result is a fake tooth that looks and works just like a normal tooth. As long as you do not smoke, have strong jaw bone and enough of that bone remaining, the dentist will likely determine that you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. Your dental implant will look like the rest of your teeth and chew through food like a normal tooth. No one will have any idea you have one or several such implants in your mouth.
