Dental Implants

To get dental implants, you need to have adequate and strong jawbones. The procedure also takes some time to get completed. Your dentist will insert screws into your jawbones and wait for a few months for them to get fused naturally. Once the surgery site has healed completely, your dentist will place a crown on top to replace your teeth.

  • It improves oral functionalities like chewing and speaking capabilities.

Dentures
