It essentially replaces the full function of your tooth, while protecting your root.

This is because it replaces both your root and your tooth, and protects the integrity of your oral health. A biocompatible titanium post is surgically placed into your bone to take the place of your root. After it\u2019s allowed to heal and integrate with your bone, a porcelain crown is placed to restore your tooth. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>With an implant you\u2019ll enjoy the same function you had with your natural tooth, which means that you\u2019ll be able to eat, chew, smile and talk as you were used to. You\u2019ll also be able to brush and floss like you normally would, and with excellent home care, your implant has the potential to last for many years, and for a lifetime in some cases. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At JL Dental, our team is well equipped to help you with any type of dental situation you may be experiencing. Unlike other dental offices, we can both place and restore your dental implant in the comfort of our own office, which means that you don\u2019t have to go elsewhere for surgery.
