What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are a popular and effective option for people who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, so you can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile for life.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are permanent and do not require special maintenance or removal. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when teeth are missing. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective and reliable choice for tooth replacement.
