What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the bone will fuse with the implant, providing a strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to the implant, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
​
Dental implants have several benefits over other tooth replacement options, such as bridges and dentures. Unlike bridges, which require support from adjacent teeth, dental implants are self-supporting, secure and allow for a more natural biting and chewing ability.
