Losing a tooth can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be permanent! Whether it’s affecting your smile, confidence, or how you chew and speak, there are options to restore your teeth—and dental implants are one of the most durable solutions available.
What are dental implants? Think of a dental implant as a tiny, sturdy anchor for your new tooth. It’s a metal post placed in your jawbone that fuses naturally with the bone. After healing, a custom-made crown is attached, giving you a natural-looking and functional tooth.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or missing them all, implant treatment can help. Implants can be placed alone or at multiple sites. They can be used to provide better support for dentures, sometimes eliminating the need for bone grafting. They can also be used for cosmetic dentistry for a smile makeover.
Why choose dental implants? Here’s why so many people love them:
A natural look & feel: Implants look, feel, and work like real teeth. Plus, they preserve your speech and make eating comfortable.
Built to last: With good care—like brushing, flossing, and regular checkups—they can last 20 years or more.
Protect your jaw: Dental implants help prevent bone loss and stop nearby teeth from shifting into the gap.
Extra stability: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, making them super sturdy.
