Profile: CaliDental offers dental implants. Dental implant is a perfect tooth replacement for individuals who are missing one or more teeth. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral specialist surgically positions into the jaw. Once in place, a substitution tooth is connected to the post. While implants are considered more sophisticated than other methods for tooth substitution, they give prevalent advantages. Implants have been known to last in the mouth anything between 10-20 years. They are considered a better approach than bridgework to replace missing teeth since they don?t require grinding down adjacent teeth.
