Implants By The Dentist

How do Dental Implants work?

Missing teeth affect your smile and significantly impact your overall oral health. Dental implants are a revolutionary solution that has changed the landscape of restorative dentistry.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic appeal and unmatched functionality.

Unlike dentures or bridges that rest on the gum’s surface, implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, promoting bone growth and preventing bone loss. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures the stability and durability of the implant, making it the closest thing to a natural tooth.

Dental implants consist of two main components: a titanium post that acts as a root substitute and a crown custom-made to match your natural teeth. The procedure involves several steps, including an initial assessment, the insertion of the implant, and a period of healing before the crown (the visible part) is attached.

Due to their design and the materials used, dental implants boast a high success rate and can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a worthwhile investment for those seeking a long-term solution to tooth loss.
