A dental implant is a modern dental treatment used to replace missing teeth. It consists of a small titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This post serves as a sturdy anchor for a replacement tooth (crown) or a set of replacement teeth (bridge or denture).

Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They provide a stable foundation for artificial teeth and help prevent bone loss in the jaw. Implants can greatly enhance chewing ability, speech, and overall oral health. With proper care, they can last for many years and are considered a reliable long-term solution for tooth replacement.
