Implants are metal posts that are surgically placed in the bone beneath your gums. After placement, the implants fuse to the bone of your jaw and act as the tooth root. Replacement teeth are then fabricated to fit on the implant. Implants can be placed in the jaw to help stabilize a denture, or to replace one or a few missing teeth. Currently, implants are being placed in the bone by specialists in the area (Marquette to Green Bay) and then the patient is referred back to our office where the abutment and crown are fabricated.
