Dental implants serve as a long-term solution for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, which sit on top of the gums, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone, making them extremely durable and effective for chewing, speaking, and maintaining facial structure. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, such as a crown or bridge. Because they integrate with the jawbone, dental implants offer a more natural appearance and long-lasting functionality.
