A dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. It’s a small, titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to it, creating a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth.
The process typically involves several steps: an initial consultation, implant placement, a healing period of a few months for the implant to fuse with the bone, and then attaching the final restoration. Dental implants are durable, often lasting decades with proper care, and they help preserve jawbone health, maintain facial structure, and improve chewing and speaking ability.
They’re ideal for patients with one or more missing teeth who want a stable, permanent option that mimics natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a standalone solution.
