What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are durable, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that’s placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, a connector called an abutment, and a custom-made crown that looks and functions like a real tooth. Because implants fuse with the bone, they provide exceptional stability, preserve facial structure, and help prevent bone loss. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants offer a long-lasting, comfortable solution that restores both your smile and your confidence.

What are the benefits of a dental implant?

Dental implants offer a highly reliable and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement. Because they integrate directly with the jawbone, implants provide exceptional stability and function that closely replicate natural teeth. Key advantages include:

Natural appearance and function: Implants are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, restoring both aesthetics and normal chewing ability.
Preservation of jawbone health: By stimulating the bone, implants help prevent the bone loss that commonly follows tooth loss.
Long-term durability: With proper care, dental implants can last for many years—and often a lifetime—making them a sound long-term investment.
Protection of adjacent teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require modification of neighbouring healthy teeth.
Improved comfort and confidence: Because implants are securely anchored, they eliminate the slipping or discomfort associated with removable prosthetics and help maintain clear, confident speech.
