Dental implant surgery is for people who have lost teeth for any reason and need them to be replaced. They may have lost teeth due to rotting or they may have lost them in an accident of some sort. Either way, dental implants are able to fill in the spaces where teeth should be. This helps ensure that the other teeth do not move and become crooked, and it helps to avoid further dental problems or problems with the mouth. There are some things that all patients should know about their dental implant surgery – both before and after – that will help them prepare and heal. If you visit the Build Your Smile website, they may be able to provide you with more information.
