Dental Implants replace lost or missing teeth. Dental Implants are precision-crafted pieces of titanium that are surgically placed beneath the gums to fuse to the jawbone. Dental Implants in effect are artificial tooth roots, to which a new tooth is attached. At Comfort Dental of Anderson, we use Dental Implants to replace one or more missing teeth, to support non-removable permanent bridges for multiple teeth, or to better support a full or partial denture. Dental Implants can be placed with the patient awake however, many patients prefer to have the Dental surgery done with sedation dentistry. In general, patients are amazed the day after the leave the dentist office there is little or no pain. Like natural teeth, Dental Implants require normal dental care (brushing flossing) and regular visits the your dental office or dental clinic.
