Implant

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the most long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth.

They consist of a titanium post (implant) that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. A custom-made crown is then attached to the implant, restoring the appearance and function of a natural tooth.

Procedure for dental implant surgery?

The implant process typically involves the following steps:

Initial Consultation:
A comprehensive oral examination, including X-rays or 3D scans, to assess bone density and plan the treatment.
Implant Placement:
Under local anesthesia, the titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. (A temporary crown may be fitted.)
Healing Period:
The implant is left to fuse with the jawbone, which takes 3 to 6 months.
Final Crown Placement:
Once healed, an impression or a scan is taken to create a custom crown, which is then attached to the implant.
