Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly are dental implants, and how do they work?
- Dental implants are sophisticated titanium posts that serve as artificial tooth roots, permanently anchored into your jawbone. The implant process involves:
- Placing a biocompatible titanium post into the jawbone
- Allowing time for osseointegration (bone fusion with the implant)
- Attaching an abutment to the implant
- Securing a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture The result is a permanent, natural-looking replacement that functions like your natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants help preserve bone structure and don’t affect adjacent healthy teeth.
