Dental implants are cost-effective, long-lasting, and natural-looking. If you are searching for an implant dentist “near me,” look no further than Kingsgate Dental.

What are dental implants?

One of the most popular methods of tooth replacement available to patients today is that of dental implants. Dental implants are used to replace one or more teeth within the dental arch. Their versatility and longevity make them a desirable option for many adult patients faced with tooth loss. The implant itself is a screw-like prosthetic that is placed during oral surgery directly into the jawbone. In doing so, this creates a tooth root replacement. The abutment on the top of the implant can then be replaced using:

• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges
• Dentures
