Implants & Dentures

What are Dental Implants and Dentures?

Dental implants and dentures are advanced dental procedures designed to effectively replace missing teeth while restoring chewing function and oral aesthetics. During the dental implant process, an artificial tooth root (usually made of titanium) is precisely inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Titanium is highly biocompatible, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with the jawbone and form a stable foundation.

Once the implant has fused with the jawbone (a process that typically takes several months), a connector abutment is placed onto the implant, followed by the installation of a custom-made dental crown. These crowns are tailored to match the patient’s oral structure and bite, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. Dental implants not only look natural—virtually indistinguishable from real teeth—but also perform just like natural teeth.

Additionally, dental implants and dentures help maintain the health of the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs due to missing teeth. Compared to traditional dentures and bridges, dental implants offer superior stability and durability without causing harm to neighboring healthy teeth.

Dental implants and dentures are suitable for single tooth replacement, multiple missing teeth, or even full-mouth restoration, making them a key technology in modern dental care. Through a thorough consultation with a professional dentist and a personalized treatment plan, patients can achieve the best results, regaining a confident smile and healthy oral function.
