Dental implants are an innovative tooth replacement option for patients who have lost one or more teeth. Dental implants are one option for replacing missing teeth. In suitable patients, they can support a crown, bridge or other dental restoration.
A dental implant consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone, providing a stable and durable base for a dental crown or other restoration to be attached.
The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps, including a comprehensive dental exam, imaging to determine the placement of the implant, and the surgical placement of the implant itself. After the implant is placed, a temporary restoration is attached while the implant integrates with the jawbone. Once the implant has fully healed, a permanent dental crown or other restoration is attached to the implant to provide a functional replacement for the missing tooth.
