Dental Implants are small titanium screws, which are surgically screwed into your jawbone. Implants are great for replacing missing teeth. They are not only suitable for replacing just one tooth, dental implants can also be used to replace some or all of your teeth.

They provide a sturdy foundation for prosthetic teeth, closely mimicking natural teeth in appearance and function. The process involves multiple steps, including the implant placement, healing period, and attachment of the replacement tooth. Dental implants offer a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth, improving both the appearance and functionality.
