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.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

  • Natural Look and Feel: Implants function like natural teeth, providing a seamless appearance.
  • Durable and Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Improved Oral Health: Implants help maintain the structure of your jawbone and prevent bone loss.
  • Enhanced Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.

 

How Dental Implants Work

The dental implant process typically involves several steps:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing the restoration and providing a natural-looking tooth.
