A dental implant is a permanent solution used to replace missing teeth by mimicking the structure of a natural tooth. It consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached, restoring function and appearance. Dental implants are ideal for patients who have lost teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease and want a durable, natural-looking replacement. They offer greater stability than traditional dentures or bridges and help preserve jawbone health by preventing bone loss.
The implant process typically involves several stages, including a healing period for the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). Once complete, the result is a strong, secure tooth that looks and feels like your own. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime and significantly improve chewing ability, speech, confidence, and overall oral health.
