What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
Dental implants have become the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — and understanding how they work makes it easy to see why.
A replacement root
An implant is a small titanium post that's placed in the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to act like a natural tooth root. That's the key difference from bridges or dentures: implants replace the root, not just the visible tooth.
A natural-looking result
Once healed, the implant supports a custom crown, bridge, or full arch of teeth that looks, feels, and functions like your own. Implants also help preserve the jawbone, preventing the sunken look that missing teeth can cause.
Whether you're missing one tooth or many, a consultation and 3D scan can map out your options.
