Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are placed directly into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the implant, creating a replacement tooth that feels, looks, and functions just like a natural one.
Most adults with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density can receive dental implants. Even if bone loss has occurred, procedures such as bone grafting can often make implants possible.
