Dr. Akres explains that dental implants are screws inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth, helping to maintain bone levels and allowing for a fixed solution that resembles natural teeth. He emphasizes the advantages of their state-of-the-art technology, including 3D X-rays for precise planning and surgical guidance. This approach streamlines the process for surgeons and dentists, ensuring better outcomes for patients.
