At Facial Surgery Group in Kansas City, a dental implant involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This post acts as an artificial root for the missing tooth. Once the area has healed, a replacement tooth is securely attached to the post, leaving you with a natural-looking and fully functional smile.
While the procedure may seem daunting, the skilled oral surgeons at Facial Surgery Group ensure it is performed with minimal discomfort. In fact, most patients are able to return to work the very next day.
