Dental Implants

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are artificial tooth roots that are secured in the jawbone to support dentures. These implants, usually made of titanium, serve as replacements for missing teeth and are designed to be long-lasting, potentially lasting the patient’s entire life without issues. These titanium screws are inserted into the jawbone through a minor surgical procedure conducted in sterile conditions by dentists.

Once the implant is in place, it functions like a natural tooth root, providing a stable foundation for the prosthesis that will be attached to it. For implant treatment to be successful, the patient needs to have sufficient bone structure to support the implant and healthy gums.


One of the greatest benefits of implant treatment is that it allows patients to regain fixed teeth that closely resemble the characteristics of their natural teeth. In fact, a properly performed implant treatment can sometimes offer better functionality than the original teeth. Additionally, when a tooth is extracted, the bone that previously held it tends to deteriorate over time due to lack of function. However, placing an implant after the extraction can slow down and eventually stop this bone loss. Therefore, preserving the bone is a significant advantage provided by implants.
