What Is Implant Dentistry?
Dental implants are a modern, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. They restore both function and aesthetics, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Benefits of dental implants:
-
Natural look and feel
-
Permanent and durable
-
Preserve jawbone health
-
No impact on surrounding teeth
