WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
A dental implant is a dental procedure known as the replacement tooth root. Made from titanium, implants offer a stable foundation for the removable or fixed prosthesis and matches the natural tooth look. Used to replace one and multiple teeth or secure loose fitting dentures, dental implants bond to the jaw.
The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthetic, where it fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. This integration creates a stable and durable support for the artificial tooth or teeth. Dental implants are designed to mimic the natural tooth structure, including the root, and they offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options.
After a healing period, a permanent restoration (crown) is crafted to fit on top of the implant.

- Self-esteem: The implant placement improves self-esteem where you get back your own smile with complete confidence.
- Bite problems: Resolve joint pain or bite problems. Restore function of your bite caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
- Convenience and comfort: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed in place and do not require adhesives. They become a permanent part of your mouth, eliminating the inconvenience of taking them out for cleaning or during sleep.
However, it’s important to note that dental implant placement requires a sufficient amount of healthy jawbone to support the implant. In some cases, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be necessary to augment the bone structure before implant placement.
