Dental Implant
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials such as titanium. They are surgically placed into your jawbone to provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
What is it?
Dental implants are advanced prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth effectively. Made from biocompatible titanium, they are surgically inserted into the jawbone where they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
This integration provides a strong and stable foundation for artificial teeth that mimic the natural look, feel, and function of real teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth, several teeth, or even an entire set, dental implants offer a durable solution that restores your smile’s aesthetics and functionality

What happens?
During the process of getting dental implants, several key steps occur to ensure successful treatment. First, the dentist or oral surgeon will conduct a comprehensive examination of your oral health, including X-rays or scans to assess bone density and structure. This evaluation helps determine the suitability of dental implants and the specific treatment plan needed for your case.
Next, the implants are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Over the next few months, the implants undergo osseointegration, where they integrate with the jawbone, providing a solid foundation similar to natural tooth roots. During this healing period, temporary teeth may be provided to maintain aesthetics and function.

Quick tip
- If your dentist gives you advice about daily dental care like teeth brushing techniques and how often you should floss, write it down. It takes time to build a new habit – some say 21 days or more. In the meantime, here’s a handy idea. Stick your note about your new dental care routine on your bathroom mirror as a daily reminder.
