Today, patients in a dental environment have more options than ever before when it comes to replacing missing teeth. For example, dental implants are quickly growing in popularity as one of the best options in this regard. Implants are in most cases made of titanium and are placed surgically by your dental care provider or dental specialist including an oral surgeon. The good news is that dental implants are permanent in nature and physically fuse or bond with bone meaning that they can last an entire lifetime. The post or screw that is placed into the jawbone in essence serves to become a tooth root of sorts.

In reconstructive surgery, multiple dental implants may be used to create a complete mouth reconstruction for the patient. Most importantly, modern dental implant placement surgery can be fast, affordable and virtually painless. Factors to consider in this regard include everything from the number of teeth that must be replaced to where the teeth are located. The dentist must also consider if any tooth extractions are required prior to the placement of implants. Implant placement surgery and reconstruction techniques have become advanced and are highly successful over the short and long term.
