A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone through osseointegration, a natural-looking ceramic crown is attached creating a replacement tooth indistinguishable from your own.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants preserve bone density, prevent facial collapse, and require no modification of adjacent teeth. They are the only tooth replacement that addresses the root cause bone loss while restoring complete functionality.
