People lose  teeth all the time, either through trauma when teeth are knocked out (athletes  such as rugby players, soccer players and boxers commonly experience this) or due to decay, gum  disease or old age. Whatever the reason for loosing your teeth they need to be  replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons. The most common treatments  for missing teeth are either a denture or a fixed bridge. However, dental  implants are now becoming a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth as  they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby  healthy tooth tissue. What is a dental implantA dental  implant is an artificial substitute / replacement for the root portion of your  natural tooth and is anchored into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to  support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made  from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily  with bone tissue. During the placement of a dental implant the goal is to  achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the  surrounding bone tissue so they can fuse together (osseointegration) creating a stable support for the new teeth.

Teeth in an Hour is a dental implant solution option that's created by a Nobel Biocare system that enables patients to walk into the dental office missing teeth, and walk out with fully functioning set of tooth implants.
