What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Over 8-12 weeks, your bone fuses with the implant, creating a permanent foundation for a custom crown that looks and feels natural.
‍

Why Implants Are the Gold Standard

Natural Look and Function - Blend seamlessly with existing teeth. Bite into apples and smile confidently.

Protect Surrounding Teeth - Unlike bridges, implants don't require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth.

Unmatched Stability - Anchor directly into jawbone with no slipping or clicking during conversations.

Prevent Bone Loss - Stimulate bone like natural roots, maintaining facial structure.

Lifetime Investment - With proper care, implants can last forever.
