Dental Implants

Dental implants are a type of tooth replacement where a titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a root for a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. These implants fuse with the bone, providing a solid foundation for artificial teeth. They are a more permanent solution, offering a more natural look, feel, and function compared to other options like dentures or bridges.

  • What dental implants are:
    Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone.

  • How dental implants work:
    The implant acts as the root of a natural tooth, and the bone fuses with the titanium post, creating a stable base.

  • Types of dental implant:
    There are various types, including single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch restorations (like All-on-4 or All-on-6, etc.).

  • Benefits of dental implants:
    Implants can restore chewing ability, prevent bone loss, and improve the appearance and function of your teeth.

  • Implant Procedure:
    The process involves surgical placement of the implant, a healing period for bone fusion, and then attaching a crown, bridge, or denture.

  • Cost:
    Implants are typically more expensive than other tooth replacement options, but they can last for many years and are considered a more permanent solution.

  • Insurance:
    Most dental insurance plans don't cover the full cost of implants, but some may cover parts of the procedure.
