1 WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS? A dental implant is an artificial tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth. It is permanently attached to your jaw with an artificial root. Because dental implants are fixed in place, they let you eat anything you want without difficulty. You also take care of implants the same way you would your natural teeth simply by brushing and flossing! 760.621.7551 www.drmcelroy.com 3
2 WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS? Anyone who is missing a tooth or teeth may be a good candidate for dental implants. If a tooth or teeth are severely decayed and beyond repair, then your dentist may also recommend removing the damaged tooth and replacing it with a dental implant. Dental implants are best done sooner rather than later. Patients who have lived for years with missing teeth may not be able to receive dental implants due to bone loss in the jaw. The best way to know if you can receive implants is to call a dentist who specializes in this procedure. 760.621.7551 www.drmcelroy.com 4
