What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone that serves as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, it can support a crown, bridge, or denture for a natural and fully functional smile.
Dental implants are designed to:
- Replace single or multiple missing teeth
- Preserve jawbone and facial structure
- Restore normal chewing strength and speech clarity
- Last 15–20+ years with proper care
Compared to traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants provide superior comfort, stability, and longevity.

Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
Dental implants are widely regarded as the best tooth replacement option because they replicate the function of natural teeth.
