Stability
Dental implants provide unparalleled stability due to their fusion with the jawbone. This ensures a secure foundation for replacement teeth, allowing for confident eating, speaking, and smiling
Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Made from durable titanium, they are resistant to decay, fractures, and other dental issues, providing a long-term solution for tooth replacement.
Natural Look & Feel
Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function. They are custom-designed to match the shape, color, and size of surrounding teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Preserves Jawbone Health
When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can deteriorate over time. Dental implants stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the overall structure and strength of the jaw.
Dental Implant Procedure
- Consultation: The process begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your dental health and treatment goals.
- Implant Placement: Titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as the artificial tooth roots.
- Healing Period: A period of several months allows for bone integration, where the implants fuse with the jawbone.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implants have integrated, abutments are placed to connect the implants with the artificial teeth.
- Restoration: Custom-made artificial teeth, such as crowns or dentures, are securely attached to the abutments, completing the dental implant procedure.
