A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the socket left by a missing tooth. The post integrates with the existing bone, forming a solid foundation for an aesthetic crown. Dental implants are the best replacement for natural teeth because they create a gorgeous, comfortable, fully functional smile.
Most people, from teenagers with adult teeth that never fully formed, to mature adults who are missing teeth, are candidates for dental implants. First, Dr. Rooney will conduct a comprehensive examination of your existing teeth, bone, and gums. This allows us to make an accurate diagnosis and determine solutions to your condition. In most cases, dental implants are a viable option.
Contact Dr. Rooney at our Northeast Philadelphia family dentist office, conveniently located near Bucks and Montgomery counties, to find out if you are a candidate for dental implants. For additional information on dental implants, see our online library.
