Introduction | Dr. Thomas - Dental Implants Dentistry in Anniston, AL

Anniston, AL Periodontics | Dr. Shannon R. Thomas is a specialist in the periodontics procedure: dental implants in Anniston, AL. Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.
