What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant heals and integrates with the bone, a custom dental crown is placed on top to complete the restoration.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several advantages compared to other tooth replacement options:
- Restore normal chewing and speaking
- Provide a stable and long-lasting solution
- Help prevent bone loss in the jaw
- Do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support
- Look and feel like natural teeth
With proper care, dental implants can last for many years.
