What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots, providing a strong, permanent foundation for a replacement tooth, crown, bridge, or denture.
How does it work?
Your dentist places the implant into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top for a natural, functional result.
What are the benefits ?
-
Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
-
Prevent bone loss that occurs after tooth loss
-
Don't rely on neighboring teeth for support, unlike a bridge
-
Built to last for decades with proper care
FAQS
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are good candidates. If bone density is a concern, procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift can often help you qualify.
How long does the implant process take?
The full process, from placement to final restoration, typically takes a few months to allow for proper healing, though some patients qualify for same-day options.
Is getting an implant painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during it. Most patients report the recovery is more comfortable than they expected, managed with medication as needed.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last decades, and many patients enjoy them for the rest of their life.
