What are Dental Implants?

If you’re missing one or more teeth, Theresa Robinson, D.M.D., of Chapel Hill can use dental implants to help restore your flawless smile. A dental implant consists of a small piece of metal which is surgically implanted in the jawbone, essentially forming a replacement for the root of a tooth. As the tissue heals over the next two to six months, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant, creating a perfectly stable structure.

After the patient has healed, Dr. Robinson uses the implant to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures - recreating your perfect smile.
