Dental Implants: A Modern Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants function as artificial tooth roots and offer a reliable solution for replacing one or multiple missing teeth. They can also be used to support bridges, removable dentures, or even restore a full set of teeth.

Implants are typically made from titanium, a biocompatible material that is strong, durable, and not rejected by the body. They are available in various shapes and surface textures to suit different clinical needs.

To be considered a candidate for dental implants, two primary conditions must be met:

1. Healthy gum tissue

2. Adequate bone density to support the implant

After a tooth is extracted, the surrounding bone begins to shrink in both height and width over time. Even in cases of significant bone loss, dental implants may still be a viable option. Advanced regenerative techniques can often be used to rebuild bone, creating a solid foundation for implant placement.

Whether you're replacing a single tooth or seeking a more secure alternative to traditional dentures, dental implants offer a long-term, natural-looking solution.
