Losing a tooth doesn’t just affect your smile—it can change the way you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a long-lasting and natural-looking solution: dental implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible titanium that is placed into the jawbone. Once it integrates with the bone, a crown is fixed on top, giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they offer multiple benefits:
✅ Permanent and long-lasting solution
✅ Look and feel like natural teeth
✅ Do not damage adjacent teeth (unlike bridges)
✅ Prevent bone loss in the jaw
✅ Improve chewing, speech, and confidence
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults can get dental implants. You may be suitable if you:
Have one or more missing teeth
Have healthy gums
Have sufficient jawbone (or can undergo bone grafting)
Do not have uncontrolled medical conditions
A proper clinical examination and X-ray/CBCT scan are essential before planning treatment.
The Dental Implant Procedure
Many patients worry that implants are painful—but the process is safe and comfortable.
Consultation & Planning
Detailed examination, scans, and treatment planning.
Implant Placement
The implant is placed under local anesthesia. The procedure is usually painless.
Healing Phase
The implant bonds with the jawbone over a few months.
Crown Placement
A custom-made crown is attached for a natural finish.
Are Dental Implants Safe?
Yes. Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by a trained dentist and maintained with good oral hygiene.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are key.
