Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants restore both function and aesthetics, improving your smile and overall oral health. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, making them a popular choice for those seeking a permanent tooth replacement.
The process starts with a small titanium post being placed into your jawbone. This post acts like a tooth root, providing a stable foundation for a replacement tooth. After the post is placed, you’ll need some time for the bone to heal and fully connect with the titanium. This usually takes a few months. Once that’s done, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant. These restorations are carefully designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, so they blend in seamlessly.
