Implantology
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or a bridge. The success or failure of a dental implant depends on several factors, such as the health of the person receiving the treatment, the general health of the mouth tissues, and the drugs which affect the chances of osseointegration. The recovery time of this procedure is around 3-6 months, a time when the osseointegration (the integration of the implant with the bone) is taking place.

Root Canal Treatment
MedAmerican Medical Center is also well-known for its root canal treatment procedures. These kinds of procedures aim to treat the infection at the center of the tooth. Such infections can happen to anyone after tooth decay, leaky fillings, or damage to teeth as a result of trauma, for instance, a fall. A root canal treatment is done through either removing the bacteria from the root canal system (root canal treatment) or through removing the tooth (extraction)
