Dental implants are advanced dental prosthetics surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are considered a highly effective and durable solution for restoring both the function of teeth and the aesthetics of a smile. The implant itself is a small titanium post that substitutes the tooth root, which provides support for artificial teeth such as crowns or bridges.

Dental implants also have the ability to fuse with the surrounding bone, ensuring greater implant stability and strength within the jawbone. This means that the implants will not slip or move around in your mouth, make noise, or cause bone damage, all of which are damages fixed bridgework or dentures may cause. It also allows for comfortable biting and chewing. Furthermore, dental implants help preserve the integrity of the jawbone.

When a tooth is lost, the underlying bone will begin to deteriorate over time. However, the presence of a dental implant stimulates the bone to prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure.
