Dental implants are the most holistic way to replace missing teeth in adults. It’s a 2- to 3-piece installation that includes a small post that’s implanted in your jaw at the site of the missing tooth. Later, it’s crowned with a tooth that has the same appearance and bite strength as your natural teeth.Dental implants are the only way to comprehensively restore missing teeth.
An oral surgeon is a dental specialist who is trained to diagnose and treat issues involving the mouth, teeth, and jaw.
Oral surgery is generally very safe, but like any medical procedure, it carries some potential risks, such as infection, bleeding, swelling, or temporary nerve sensitivity.
If wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to erupt, they can become impacted, causing:
Painful infections
Disruption of natural tooth alignment
Cysts or tumors that may damage the jawbone and healthy teeth
