A Natural-Looking Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental Implant

A dental implant is a popular and effective solution for replacing a missing tooth. It involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which serves as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to the top, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Single dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:

  • Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
  • Improved Speech and Chewing: Implants restore your ability to speak and chew comfortably.
  • Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate bone growth, preventing jawbone deterioration.
  • Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Convenience: Unlike dentures, implants are fixed and require no special cleaning or maintenance.

The Implant Process​

The process of getting a single dental implant typically involves two visits

  • Consultation: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options.
  • Surgical Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • Healing Period: The implant needs time to fuse with the bone, a process called osseointegration.
  • Abutment Placement: A small connector, called an abutment, is attached to the implant.
  • Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
