| Artificial Tooth = Implants |
Implants is a treatment method to insert an artificial tooth into the jaw
bone where a tooth has been lost. It can recover the appearance and function
of the original tooth from the root to the crown (tooth cap to be placed
over the implant).

| Implants can help you enjoy chewing food again |
Implants makes "chewing hard food" possible, the pleasure that
dentures or bridges cannot provide. When chewing food, an incredible amount
of load is put on the teeth. In fact, molars must sustain as much as 150
- 200 kg of load. By replacing a lost tooth with an implant, a patient
can chew food again as he or she did before. Furthermore, color and appearance
of the crown can be made to match the patient's teeth. In addition, implants
can last a lifetime as long as proper care is taken.

Titanium is commonly used for a variety of medical supplies including the volts to stabilize broken bones. It is a safe material with very little risk of causing allergic reactions to human body.
When receiving an implant treatment, it is essential that patients have the correct knowledge of the implants and select a dentist with dependable skills and experience.
