What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration), it provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Components

1. Implant Post: Titanium screw in jawbone
2. Abutment: Connector piece above gum
3. Crown: Custom tooth replacement

Success Rate: 95-98% over 10 years, making them the most predictable tooth replacement option.
