Dental Implants in Belvidere, IL
Tooth loss can be inevitable at a certain age in life. In spite of advanced medical development, there is not yet a permanent method to stop the occurrence of tooth loss. However, there are ways to replace your missing tooth, like dental implants.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace missing teeth with an artificial tooth. The actual implant, the metal screw, is implanted into your jawbone to provide a strong foundation for the replacement tooth—the crown.
