Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth, preserving their health and integrity.
Single implants: Replace one missing tooth with a natural-looking crown.
Multiple implants: Support bridges or dentures for multiple missing teeth.
All-on-4/6 implants: Secure an entire arch of dentures for improved stability and function.
- Initial consultation: Discuss your needs, goals, and suitability for implants.
- Detailed examination and planning: Evaluate your jawbone health and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant placement: A skilled surgeon carefully inserts the implants into your jawbone.
Suppliments
- Healing period: Allow time for the jawbone to fuse with the implants (usually 3-6 months).
- Restoration placement: Attach crowns, bridges, or dentures to the implants for a beautiful, functional smile.
