Dental Implants by Your Victorville, CA Dentist and Orthodontist
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that holds a replacement tooth or dental bridge. Surgically positioned into the jawbone below your gums, a dental implant provides sturdy and stable support for an artificial tooth. Dentures or bridges affixed to the dental implant feel natural, and will not slip or shift inside your mouth so you can eat, speak, smile and laugh with confidence.
Endosteal implants
Endosteal, or “in the bone” implants are the most commonly used type of implant, according to the American Academy of Periodontology. Screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone holds one or more prosthetic teeth. Endosteal dental implants are a great alternative for patients with removable dentures or bridges.
