Unlike dentures, dental implants are not removable and are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. This post fuses with the bone through osseointegration, providing a stable dental crown or bridge foundation. The crown or bridge is attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking and functional replacement for the missing tooth or teeth. Dental implants feel and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
