If you are in good general health, have healthy gums, and have sufficient bone in your jaw, dental implants may be an excellent option for replacing missing teeth. Implants are a long-lasting, stable, and natural-looking solution that restore both function and aesthetics.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium. This small metal post is inserted into the jawbone where it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant acts as a stable anchor to support a replacement tooth such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

Dental implants are an excellent alternative to bridges, partial dentures, or complete dentures. Because they are anchored securely into the bone, implants feel and function like natural teeth — allowing you to speak, chew, and smile with confidence.

Implants also help preserve the bone in your jaw, preventing the bone loss that commonly occurs when teeth are missing. This makes them one of the most predictable and successful long-term tooth replacement options available.
