A dental implant is an advanced and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. It is a titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial root to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing unmatched stability and a natural appearance.
Dental implants restore not just the smile, but also chewing efficiency, speech, and overall oral health. They help maintain jawbone density, prevent facial sagging, and offer a long-term replacement option that can last for decades with proper care.
Patients who have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and adequate bone density are considered good candidates for implants. Even those with bone loss may still qualify after bone grafting or sinus lift procedures. Implants are suitable for adults of almost all ages.
Proper oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding smoking are essential for the long-term success of dental implants. With good care, implants can last a lifetime.
