Missing teeth can make it hard to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. Once placed in the jawbone, they provide a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, implants preserve jawbone health and function just like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
– Look, feel, and function like real teeth
– Prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure
– Long-lasting (15–25+ years)
– No slipping or discomfort like dentures
– Improve confidence and quality of life

FAQS ABOUT DENTAL IMPLANTS
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it heals, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the look and function of a natural tooth.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more, and many last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are key to long-term success.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and any mild soreness afterward can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
If you have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and enough bone to support an implant, you may be a good candidate. In some cases, bone grafting may be needed before placement.
How do dental implants compare to dentures or bridges?
Unlike dentures, implants are permanent and don’t slip or move. Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy teeth. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth—making them the most advanced solution for tooth replacement.
