A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has healed and fused with the surrounding bone, it supports a crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like your natural teeth. Implants are often considered the most durable and long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth.
Missing teeth affect more than your smile. Preserving Jawbone Health: An implant stimulates the jawbone the way a natural tooth root does, helping prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth loss. Restoring Full Function: Implants let you bite and chew with confidence, without the slipping or discomfort sometimes associated with removable options. Protecting Neighboring Teeth: Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require altering the healthy teeth next to the gap.
