What is a dental implant?

	Robert M Christ DMD 3033-A Ridgeline Boulevard Tarpon Springs, Florida 34688 727 934-1200			A dental implant is a titanium metal replacement for a root of a tooth that is surgically implanted in the jawbone. As the body heals for approximately two to six months after the surgery, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant through a process called osseointegration. After the healing phase is complete, the implants are used to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants are a logical replacement for a missing tooth. Back - Next

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental procedures
that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond
appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
