Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Dental Implant FAQs
Most adults with missing teeth and sufficient jawbone density are candidates. A consultation will determine if you’re suitable based on your overall health and dental condition.
The timeline varies but generally ranges from a few months to over a year, depending on healing time and whether additional procedures (like bone grafting) are needed.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure due to anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with prescribed pain relief.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial for longevity.
Dental implants provide a permanent, stable solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. They also help preserve jawbone health and do not affect surrounding teeth, unlike bridges.
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule regular dental check-ups to maintain oral health.
While rare, potential risks include infection, nerve damage, or implant failure. Choosing an experienced oral surgeon can help minimize these risks.
