Dental Implants

Overview

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom-made crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Key Benefits

• Looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth
• Prevents bone loss in the jaw
• Does not require altering adjacent healthy teeth
• Durable and can last a lifetime with proper care

The Procedure

The implant process involves several steps: initial consultation and imaging, surgical placement of the implant post, a healing period (osseointegration) where the bone fuses to the implant, and finally, the placement of the custom crown.
