Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support replacement teeth. They are typically made of biocompatible titanium and shaped like small screws. An implant is placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing, and over a few months it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation under the gums.
A complete dental implant has three parts:
Once the implant post bonds with your jaw, it essentially becomes part of your body. This allows the attached crown or denture to feel secure and function just like a normal tooth. You can bite, chew, and speak confidently without worrying about slipping dentures or gaps in your smile.
Dental implants are incredibly versatile. A single implant can replace one missing tooth, and multiple implants can anchor a bridge or even support a full denture. Because implants replace the tooth roots, they also help preserve bone density in your jaw and prevent the sunken facial appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
