subject: Introduction to Dental Implants [print this page] The overall jaw structure can suffer disfiguration due to various factors like childhood injury or late growth of some teeth. Now even such patients can go for dental implants and get themselves a fresh smile, custom made in the dentist's lab. The treatment is mostly painless due to the use of anesthesia and the fact that the jaw has limited nerve sensitivity. The new set of teeth, placed by cosmetic dental treatment, will require regular teeth whitening measures like brushing, flossing and regular trips to the dentist.
