What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small, strong posts, usually made of titanium or zirconia, that replace the roots of missing teeth. Once placed in the jawbone, they provide a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, restoring both function and appearance.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable recovery is. Any soreness typically resolves within a few days, and we’ll provide you with easy-to-follow care instructions to keep your implants in top shape.
