Dental implants are metal posts placed in the jawbone under the gums. After placement, the dentist installs fixed crowns or bridges that replace missing teeth with a stable and long-lasting result.
How dental implants work.
The implant integrates with the jawbone and creates a strong base for the new tooth. Crowns and bridges placed on implants stay firm, which improves chewing and speaking. This stability makes them feel natural.
Many patients struggle with traditional bridges or dentures because they move, irritate the mouth or trigger gag reflexes. Conventional bridges also require grinding the teeth next to the gap. Implants avoid this step because they support the replacement tooth on their own.
