Implants

A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the jaw or skull bone to support a dental prosthesis, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Essentially, it is an artificial tooth root made of materials like titanium that is implanted into the jawbone through a surgical procedure. Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or teeth.

Dental implants are commonly used to replace missing teeth and offer a more permanent and natural-looking solution compared to traditional dentures or bridges. They can enhance both the functional and aesthetic aspects of a person's smile by providing stability and support for the replacement teeth.
