Dental implants are strong titanium roots surgically inserted into the jawbone, providing stable support for crowns and bridges. They replicate the appearance and function of natural teeth and may need occasional adjustments.
Getting dental implants involves several steps over a few months. The process starts with X-rays and impressions to evaluate your jawbone, gum tissue, and the available space for the implant.
Next, a titanium implant is surgically placed in the jawbone, where it integrates with the bone over time. Depending on your situation, a follow-up procedure may be needed to attach a post that will hold the artificial tooth.
After healing, custom-designed teeth are fitted onto the implant. This final step may require a few adjustments during multiple visits to ensure the best fit and comfort. Once complete, the implant offers lasting stability and restores natural function.
To maintain your implant, practice good oral hygiene, eat healthily, and attend regular dental check-ups.
