Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are a permanent solution to missing teeth and are designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth.

​

The implant is made of a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. As the bone heals, it grows around the implant, anchoring it securely in the jaw. Once the implant has fused to the bone, an abutment, or connector post, is placed on top of the implant. This is what will hold the replacement tooth or bridge.

​

The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps, including an initial consultation, the surgical placement of the implant, a healing period and the placement of the replacement tooth or bridge. The healing time for dental implants varies, depending on the patient's overall health, the size of the implant, and the location of the implant. It can take several months for the implant to fully integrate with the bone.

​

Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for missing teeth and can improve the patient's ability to eat, speak, and smile. They are also a good option for people who are not suitable candidates for bridges or dentures.

​

It's important to note that not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental implants and a thorough examination is needed before starting the treatment.
