Dental implants are transforming the way people live by providing a permanent solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are designed to function just like natural teeth — giving you the ability to eat comfortably, smile confidently, and maintain the natural shape of your face.
An implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over time, the bone bonds with the titanium, creating a secure foundation for artificial teeth. A crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the implant, completing the restoration. This process not only improves appearance but also prevents bone loss that usually occurs after losing teeth.
The implant procedure usually takes place in two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal for several months as it integrates with the bone. In the second stage, a small post is attached to the implant to anchor the replacement tooth. Thanks to modern advances, single-stage implants and same-day extractions with implant placement are now possible in certain cases, reducing healing time and improving comfort.
Implants can support different types of prostheses:
-
Single Crown: Replaces one missing tooth.
-
Fixed Bridge: Replaces multiple teeth with fewer implants.
-
Full Arch (All-on-4 or fixed dentures): Restores an entire upper or lower jaw.
