Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. They serve as a sturdy foundation for either fixed or removable replacement teeth, custom-made to match the natural teeth. Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for restoring smiles and improving oral functionality.
The success rates of dental implants are highly encouraging, with a success rate of up to 98%, though it may vary depending on the implant location in the jaw. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, providing long-lasting benefits for patients.
The implant procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant is securely integrated, a dental crown, bridge, or denture is attached to it, completing the restoration process.
