Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

If you are looking for a long-term solution to restore your smile,  Unlike removable dentures, dental implants provide a permanent replacement that mimics the function and appearance of real teeth. They not only improve aesthetics but also restore essential functions like chewing and speaking with ease.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

The procedure typically requires two visits to complete:

1. First Visit – Implant Placement

During your initial appointment, our qualified specialists will surgically place a titanium screw into the jawbone. This acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a strong foundation for the new tooth.

2. Healing Process (Approximately 6 Months)

Over the next few months, the implant will integrate with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. To maintain your smile during this time, a temporary tooth will be provided, ensuring a full set of teeth while you heal.

3. Second Visit – Permanent Crown Placement

After the healing period, a custom-made dental crown is securely attached to the implant, completing your restored smile.

Why Are Dental Implants Important?

Replacing missing teeth is crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for functional health. Missing teeth can cause jawbone deterioration, misalignment, and difficulty in chewing. Fortunately, dental implants help:

•Prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone.

•Restore the ability to chew and speak naturally.

•Enhance confidence by providing a full, natural-looking smile
