Implants

Dental implant surgery is a procedure that involves surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone beneath the gum line. These posts act as artificial tooth roots.

Before

After



Hereā€™s how it works:

  1. Placement: The tiny titanium posts are surgically positioned into the bone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors serve as tooth root substitutes.
  2. Healing: The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. During the healing process (approximately 6 weeks), a healing abutment contours the gum tissue for tooth restoration.
  3. Restorative Phase: After healing, the implant is uncovered, and a small healing cap is attached. This shapes the gingiva for a more cosmetic result. Artificial teeth (such as crowns or bridges) can then be attached to the implant.

Dental implants provide a natural-looking and functional solution for replacing missing teeth. They allow you to eat virtually anything and preserve facial structure.
