A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. It serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth, providing a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Over time, the implant fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring stability and durability. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral health and confidence.
