A dental implant is a type of tooth replacement that consists of an artificial root, a connecting post, and a crown. It is surgically implanted into your jawbone, where it eventually fuses with the bone. A dental implant can improve your mouth’s appearance, function, and health. It can boost your self-esteem and improve your smile, speech, and chewing. It can also help to prevent bone loss, tooth shifting, and facial changes that can occur after tooth loss.

A dental implant is a long-lasting and durable solution that can last for many years with proper care. Dental implants come in a variety of configurations, including single tooth, implant-supported bridge, all-on-4, and 3-on-6. Your dentist or oral surgeon will examine your mouth and advise you on the  best treatment option for you.
