A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the tooth's function and appearance. Implants are durable, look natural, and help prevent bone loss. The procedure typically involves several stages over a few months.

Procedure Overview:

Implant Placement: The dentist places the titanium post into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. This requires a healing period of 3-6 months to allow the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration).

Abutment Placement: After the implant has integrated with the bone, the abutment is attached, and another healing period (usually a few weeks) allows for proper healing before the final restoration.

Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the abutment, restoring the function and appearance of the missing tooth or teeth.

Advantages of Implants:

Natural Look and Feel: They mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.

Long-lasting: Implants are durable and, with good care, can last many years—often a lifetime.

Bone Preservation: They help maintain jawbone health by preventing bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing.
