What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Nobel Biocare and BioHorizons are two of the most trusted names in implant technology, known for their quality and durability.

How Dental Implants Work
The dental implant process typically involves several steps:
- Consultation: During your initial visit, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options. This step ensures that dental implants are the right solution for you.
- Implant Placement: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over a few months, the implant will fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implant is securely integrated, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as the connection point for the replacement tooth.
- Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing the restoration and providing a natural-looking tooth.
