Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, implants offer a reliable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to bridges or dentures.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of medical-grade titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse over time, a process known as osseointegration.
Once healed, the implant serves as a sturdy foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Did you know there are different types of Dental Implants?
Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth with a natural-looking crown.
Implant Bridges
Used when two or more teeth are missing in a row; implants support the bridge without needing adjacent teeth to be altered.
Implanted Dentures
A full or partial denture is securely anchored by implants, offering greater stability and comfort than traditional dentures.
All-in-4 Implants
A full arch of teeth is supported on just four implants—ideal for patients with significant tooth loss and limited bone structure.
