Losing a tooth can affect not just your smile but also your confidence, comfort, and oral health. Dental implants are one of the most advanced solutions in modern dentistry, offering a natural-looking and long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for an artificial tooth (crown). Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Look & Feel: Implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, they can last for decades.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down nearby teeth.
- Restored Confidence: They make it easy to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Most adults with good oral and general health are candidates. Healthy gums and adequate bone density are important for implant success.
