What is an implant?
An implant is a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. This implant fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, dental crown, bridge, or denture. Implants are commonly used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Apperance and Functionality
Implants closely resemble natural teeth in both appearance and function, allowing for comfortable chewing, speaking, and smiling.
Bone Preservation
By integrating with the jawbone, implants stimulate bone growth and help prevent bone loss, preserving facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance often associated with missing teeth.
Improved oral health
Unlike traditional tooth-supported bridges, implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth for support, preserving the integrity of natural teeth and promoting better oral health.
Enhanced confidence
Dental implants restore a patient's ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, improving overall quality of life and self-esteem.
Long-Lasting
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and permanent solution for tooth replacement.
