Dental implants, comprised of tiny titanium posts, serve as durable substitutes for tooth roots. Surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing, these implants create a robust foundation for artificial teeth. The titanium seamlessly bonds with the bone, providing stability for small posts that protrude through the gums and act as anchors for replacement teeth.

Beyond restoring teeth function, implants play a vital role in preserving facial structure by preventing bone deterioration associated with missing teeth. Unlike traditional dental prosthetics, implants closely mimic the natural tooth structure, consisting of a visible crown and an anchoring root. The titanium construction, a time-tested material used in artificial joints, ensures longevity and compatibility.

When a tooth is lost, both the root and crown are absent. To recreate this structure, the surgeon replaces the root with a small dental implant, seamlessly integrating into the jawbone. This innovative approach not only restores the aesthetic and functional aspects of missing teeth but also addresses long-term oral health by preventing bone loss.
