Dental Implants

We are committed to providing our patients with a wide range of dental treatment options. One increasingly popular solution for replacing missing teeth is dental implants.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial replacement for the root of a missing tooth. It serves as a strong and stable foundation for various dental restorations.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants involve the surgical placement of a small titanium post into the jawbone, where it acts as a substitute tooth root. Once integrated with the bone, the implant can support crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Among all tooth replacement options, implants most closely mimic the structure and function of natural teeth. Although the procedure might sound complex, it has become a routine treatment and can often be completed within a few hours.

Are Implants Always an Option for Replacing Missing Teeth?

Whether implants are suitable depends on the condition and volume of your jawbone. Your dentist will carry out specific diagnostic tests to determine if there is enough healthy bone to support an implant. If there is insufficient bone, a bone graft may be necessary before implant placement.

Are Implant-Supported Teeth Easy to Clean?

Yes—maintaining dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Good oral hygiene and following your dentist’s aftercare instructions are key to the long-term success of your implant.

While some areas around the implant may require special attention, your dental team will guide you on how to clean effectively. In some cases, more frequent hygiene visits may be recommended.
