Restore your smile and confidence with dental implants, a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Designed to mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth, implants provide unparalleled stability and durability.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it serves as a foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, creating a permanent, secure replacement.

The Process:

1. Consultation and Planning: we’ll evaluate your oral health, bone density, and medical history to determine if implants are right for you. CBCT scans or X-rays are used for precise planning.

2. Implant Placement: a titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Sometimes a bone graft is placed as well.

3. Healing and Integration (Osseointegration): over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a secure base.

4. Abutment and Crown Placement: once healed, an abutment (connector) is attached to the implant, and a custom crown is secured on top to complete the restoration.

Indications:

• Missing one or more teeth

• Healthy gums and adequate jawbone support

• Commitment to good oral hygiene

Contraindications:

• Insufficient bone without prior grafting

• Untreated gum disease or dental infections

• Certain medical conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes
