Implants
A dental implant mimics the form and function of a natural tooth, which consists of a root and a crown. The crown is the visible part of your tooth. It is used to chew food and is therefore the most susceptible to cavities. The crown is attached to the jawbone by way of the root. When decay has gone deep enough or when a periodontal disease has advanced enough to warrant an extraction, the entire tooth, root and all, is taken out. The dental implant is a titanium root that is fitted by a specialised implant surgeon into a socket created in your jaw. Once the implant heals into place, Dr Elliott places an artificial crown on top. The new crown is customized to match your bite and the colour of your teeth.
