5.  Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually
titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower
jaw bone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural
looking and often enhance or restore a patient's smile!
 Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and
will last many years, but on occasion, they will have to be
re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
 X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and
teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available
for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be
surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and
integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months.

6. A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a
tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc.
The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be
removed and then filled with a composite filling.
Reasons for composite fillings:
o Chipped teeth.
o Closing space between two teeth.
o Cracked or broken teeth.
o Decayed teeth.
o Worn teeth.
Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular
dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

7.  A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire
tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A
crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot
be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
 Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain
(tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they
resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and
will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they
may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are
made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth
giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
