What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with your bone, it provides a stable foundation for a replacement tooth (crown), bridge, or denture.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants don't rely on adjacent teeth for support. This means your healthy teeth remain untouched, and the implant functions independently just like a natural tooth root.
The titanium material used in dental implants is biocompatible, meaning it naturally fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a permanent, stable foundation that can last a lifetime with proper care.
