What are my options if something goes wrong with my teeth and oral health?
If you end up losing a tooth due to an accident or decay then the best solution for you is a dental implant. A dental implant is a titanium fixture which is inserted into your gum and jaw. The implant itself integrates with your natural jaw bone and results in a strong and permanent foundation for a cosmetically pleasing dental implant crown.
