WHAT IS
DENTAL IMPLANT?
Dental implant is the most effective way to replace a missing tooth. Implant offers long-lasting and natural looking substitute and becomes part of the jawbone through osseo-integration or ability to fuse with the natural bone.
“Documented research and clinical studies indicate success rates of over 95%, the highest of any tooth-replacement option”
