Dental Implants-Diagnosis and Treatment Options
Restoring the mouth with a dental implant is accomplished in two phases.
The first phase is the surgical placement of the implant. It is left under
the gums for several months so the bone can attach to it. After healing,
the second phase begins; the implant is re-exposed, and the new crown is
made.

Using implants to support a bridge is an excellent way to replace missing
teeth. Like other bridges, a dental bridge uses abutments for support and
to hold it in place. Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that
are surgically inserted into the bone of the jaw to replace the roots of
missing teeth. Artificial teeth are attached to the implants and can be
used as part of a bridge.

He may complain of constant pain or a persistent "gaggy" feeling.
Or he might say his dentures just don't stay in place. Using dental implants
to support a denture will keep the pressure off the bone and nerves.
