What a dental implant does
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and integrates with the jawbone. Once stable, it becomes a strong base for the final restoration without relying only on neighboring teeth.

An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and integrates with the jawbone. Once stable, it becomes a strong base for the final restoration without relying only on neighboring teeth.
Before implant placement, we assess the bone, gums, adjacent teeth, and bite. This helps us choose the right position, size, and direction for a predictable long-term result.
Treatment usually includes surgical implant placement, a healing and integration period, and final restoration with an abutment and prosthetic construction. Timing depends on bone quality, number of implants, and any additional procedures.
Implants may be suitable for a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or a more stable denture. Beyond appearance, they support chewing, speech, and bone maintenance after tooth loss.
