If you are considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, you probably want to know if they are approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Having the FDA approval can guarantee the safety and the effectiveness of the procedure.

Adolescents make good candidates for dental implants, due to their age and the fact that other replacement methods may not be advantageous. Dental implants are a long lasting solution to replace missing teeth, containing two parts: a titanium screw that should be integrated in the natural bone and a dental crown that is placed on the screw. If the bone is not sufficient or not strong enough, a bone augmentation procedure may also be performed for adolescents.

Dental implants are the most effective way of replacing one or multiple missing teeth. The dental implant procedure is a complex one and getting dental implants during pregnancy is not recommended for several reasons.
