Dental Implants in Hamilton OH

Dental implant is a titanium replacement of tooth root, on which an implant crown can be installed. Under most conditions, dental implants are the best option to replace missing teeth. However, dentists need a thorough exam to identify if a patient is the good candidate for dental implant treatment. 

​

Pros of dental implants:

1. Dental implants are stable and durable, and will last very long time.
