Reinvigorate your Smile.
The dental implant is the laying of a titanium screw that replaces the missing roots. Following the placement of the implant, a tooth is screwed permanently above the implant.
In case of multiple replacements, implants can be used to support the removable prosthesis, providing better chewing and comfort.
