What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed in your jawbone, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
Why Choose Implants?
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants offer several unique advantages:
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Prevent bone loss in the jaw
- Last a lifetime with proper care
- Don't affect adjacent teeth
- Restore full chewing power
The Implant Process
Getting dental implants typically involves several stages:
- Consultation: We assess your oral health and create a treatment plan
- Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed in your jawbone
- Healing Period: 3-6 months for the implant to fuse with your bone
- Crown Placement: Your custom crown is attached to complete your new tooth
Caring for Your Implants
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. With proper maintenance, your implants can last a lifetime.
