Coeur d’Alene Family Dentistry – Dental Implants in Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. The implant integrates with your bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement teeth. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
At our office, our dentists provide single and full-mouth restorations supported by dental implants. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jaw bone and, once healed, can support a crown to replace one missing tooth or a full set of upper or lower teeth. Implants eliminate the day-to-day hassle of removable dentures as well. They allow you to chew normally and even speak without the worry that your teeth might slip out of place.
