What Are Dental Implants?
A natural tooth consists of a crown (the part you see above the gum), and the root (the
part hidden under the gum, within the jawbone). It is the root that actually holds the
natural tooth in place.
When a person is missing a tooth, the dentist must decide how to re-create the crown
portion, and the best method to hold it in place. Dental implants were created for this
purpose.
Dental implants involve the use of metallic cylinders that are placed into the jawbone
where original teeth once existed. These root-like cylinders are used to secure a
replacement tooth. Dental implants can also be used to secure existing loose teeth in
place by being installed alongside the loose teeth and anchoring to them with splinted

can assure his patients that their loose teeth will function better and last longer in their
mouths.
Dental implants are made of various biomaterials. Most commonly, a surgical metal
called titanium is used because it is the most compatible with human biology. Dr. Rotem
will surgically place the dental implants in the jawbone right in his office using a local
anesthetic. Approved and tested implant dentistry systems used by Dr. Rotem are very
successful. In fact, some have lasted more than 20 years with a better than 90%
success rate. Patients who have good oral hygiene and take care of their new teeth can
enjoy implants that last a lifetime.
