Szalai & Szalai DDS on Jaw Bone Deterioration
Categories: Dental Implants, Restorative Dentistry
Though tooth extraction is often the only possible treatment for our Allen Park patients with tooth damage beyond repair, every effort should be made to preserve the root structure.
Fortunately, tooth implants provide a new root which keeps the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant consists of a titanium post which is placed in the jaw bone. It replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone.

The new artificial tooth, or crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.
