One of the most amazing advances to happen in dentistry today are dental implants.  There are two types of implants, a traditional implant is a titanium post that is carefully placed into the bone in order to replace the missing root, and is considered the optimal way to replace missing teeth.  The second type of implant is called a "mini implant" .  These are recommended mainly to use as support underneath complete dentures.  Whether it is a single tooth , or stabilizing an entire denture, dental implants continue to help people of all ages to smile and chew with confidence!
