Dentistry by Brooksher

Dental implants safely and predictably replace missing teeth. And they look and feel like healthy natural teeth. In Baton Rouge, Dr. Brooksher offers the convenience of having the entire dental implant process completed in his office. A dental implant is a biocompatible, artificial tooth, usually made of titanium. Its components mimic the structure of a natural tooth and include a root form, an abutment (connector), and a dental crown. An implant mimics the appearance of a natural tooth and restores its function. A dentist or oral surgeon surgically places a dental implant in your jawbone attaches and an abutment, or connector on top of it. Within a few months, your jawbone and the root form will fuse together. A dentist will attach a dental crown to the connector. Dental Implants have several uses including replacing one or missing teeth, supporting a dental bridge, and supporting dentures.
