Dental implants
A titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a crown.
When this is typically needed
- One or more missing teeth
- Wanting a permanent alternative to a bridge or denture
- Adequate jawbone density confirmed on evaluation
What it involves
A staged process — implant placement, a healing period for bone integration, then the crown is fitted.
What to expect
The full process typically spans a few months given the healing time needed, but results in a stable, natural-feeling tooth.
