About Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, fusing with your jawbone over time to create a strong, permanent foundation for a replacement tooth. Unlike dental bridges, which rely on neighboring teeth for support, an implant stands independently. Once healed, a porcelain crown is attached on top, completing the restoration with a result that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
What is Condition
Dental implants are typically recommended for patients missing one or more teeth who want a permanent, independent solution. For patients missing just a tooth or two with healthy neighboring teeth, dental bridges may also be an option. For patients missing many or all of their teeth, implant supported dentures combine the stability of implants with the coverage of a full denture.
Symptoms and Causes
- One or more missing teeth affecting your bite or appearance
- Difficulty chewing due to a missing tooth
- Concern about jawbone loss in the area of a missing tooth
- Wanting a permanent solution rather than a removable option
What to Expect
Treatment starts with a consultation and imaging to assess your jawbone and plan the exact implant placement. The titanium implant post is placed and given several months to fuse with the bone, a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom porcelain crown is attached to complete the restoration. The full process typically spans a few months from start to finish, though it varies by case.
