What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support replacement teeth. They consist of:
- Implant Post: A titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone.
- Abutment: A connector that attaches the implant to the crown.
- Crown: A custom-made artificial tooth for a natural look.
Why Are Dental Implants Important?
- Permanent Solution: Provide a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
- Preserve Bone Health: Stimulate jawbone to prevent bone loss.
- Natural Function: Restore chewing and speaking abilities with a natural feel.
Types of Dental Implants
We offer various implant options to meet your needs:
- Endosteal Implants: Placed directly into the jawbone for single or multiple teeth.
- Subperiosteal Implants: Positioned under the gum but above the jawbone for specific cases.
- All-on-4 Implants: Full-arch restoration with four strategically placed implants.
