A dental implant is essentially a screw-shaped surgical fixture that is placed into the jawbone via a tiny incision on the gums. The implant is left for a period of 3-4 months to allow it to integrate with the jaw bone. This process is known as osseointegration.
Once this takes place, an implant essentially behaves like a natural tooth root and forms the foundation for the placement of crowns, permanent dentures, snap-on dentures and bridges.
The unique benefit of implants is that they are permanent and can last a lifetime with proper oral care.
Dental implants are fixed and mimic a natural tooth root which eliminates the process of jaw bone resorption.
Due to their bone-saving activity, dental implants help maintain facial proportions and contribute to a youthful appearance.

Dental implants restore speech and do not interfere with or change enunciation. Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth.
