What Are Dental Implants? Ask Dr. Benke in Inver Grove Heights, MN

Call (651) 450-1602

If you’re missing one or more teeth, Steven Benke, D.D.S., of Inver Grove Heights can use dental implants to help restore your flawless smile. A dental implant consists of a small piece of metal which is surgically implanted in the jawbone, essentially forming a replacement for the root of a tooth. As the tissue heals over the next two to six months, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant, creating a perfectly stable structure.

After the patient has healed, Dr. Benke uses the implant to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures - recreating your perfect smile.
