What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
Dental implants are titanium fixtures that replace missing tooth roots. Once placed into your jawbone, the implant fuses naturally through a process called osseointegration. A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then fitted securely on top, creating a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing.
Compared to bridges and dentures, implants are stronger, more stable, and protect your bone and facial structure.
