Healthy Gums Make Dental Implants in Plano Look Better
July 26, 2018

They closely mimic the natural construction of a tooth, they preserve the strength and shape of your jawbone and they have no impact on healthy adjacent teeth.

This may subsequently lead to gingival recession. To correct this, a dentist may recommend soft tissue grafting for implant esthetics.
