What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that rests in your jawbone. A dental restoration will then be attached to the implant to restore the tooth both above and below the gum line. The implant fuses with your bone over time through a process known as osseointegration. Once this bond is formed, the implant is as stable as a natural tooth root. An implant-supported restoration isn’t just appearing to be a tooth – it actually functions as one.

Because biocompatible implants fuse with your bone, they have some unique advantages. Dental implants actually preserve your bone density, preventing bone in the area of tooth loss from resorbing and dissolving. This can lead to better-maintained facial structure, and overall improved oral health.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

When one loses a tooth to decay or damage, a smile becomes compromised. We strive to restore it in a way that maintains the smile’s natural integrity. With dental implants, replacement teeth become as secure as your natural teeth. Implants are the most biologically and aesthetically ideal tooth replacement option.

Dental Implants and Dental Restorations

Many patients wonder just which restorations implants can be paired with. The answer is: all of them! Implants improve the stability of every dental restoration, ranging from crowns to bridge to dentures. As implants allow you to replace teeth without drawing on the strength of neighboring teeth, they are better for your entire mouth. Adjacent teeth won’t be weakened in the restoration process. You will be able to brush and floss normally, and truly feel like you have a natural tooth.

When dental implants are paired with dentures, the dentures lose any chance of slipping or clicking. They are firmly anchored to the gums, and will not be uncomfortable or loose. You won’t need to bother with denture adhesives, and there will be less material in your mouth. Your dentures will feel like natural teeth in a way that they never have.

Dental Implant FAQs

What are dental implants and how do they work?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements made from titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots and support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Over time, the implant fuses with your bone to create a strong, stable foundation for a natural-looking restoration.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. A consultation and diagnostic imaging can determine whether you’re eligible, and in some cases, bone grafting may be necessary to strengthen the area for implant placement.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, they are designed to be a long-term solution that doesn’t need frequent replacement if you maintain good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

The implant procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and is well tolerated by most patients. Mild discomfort and swelling after surgery are normal but usually subside within a few days. Most people return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

What are the benefits of choosing dental implants over dentures or bridges?

Dental implants provide superior function, comfort, and aesthetics. They help preserve bone structure, don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, and feel and look like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, implants won’t slip or affect your speech or diet.
