Dental Implants

Dental implants are a highly effective and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, a crown is attached to the top of the post to complete the restoration.

The procedure begins with an initial consultation where the dentist evaluates your oral health and creates a treatment plan. During the implant placement surgery, the dentist inserts the titanium post into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After the post is placed, a healing period of several months is required to allow the bone to fuse with the implant.

Once the implant has properly integrated, a custom-made crown is attached to the post. This crown is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved chewing function, preservation of jawbone density, and a natural-looking appearance. They are a long-lasting solution, with proper care and maintenance allowing implants to function effectively for many years, making them a popular choice for replacing missing teeth.
