The dental implant itself is a small metal post, usually made of titanium. In order to restore your missing tooth, an oral surgeon will place the implant deep in your gums where your tooth’s roots used to be. As your jaw heals, your bone will actually start to grow around the implant, which ensures the implant will be stable.

Once you have completely healed from the implant procedure, Dr. Mahajan will attach a custom-made crown to the top of your implant. This crown becomes your new tooth, and we can match its color, shape and size to your natural teeth so your smile will look natural.

Your new tooth will look, feel, and work just like your natural teeth. When your smile is fully restored, you can continue to eat the foods you love and smile with confidence.
