For individuals who wish to replace missing teeth , dental implants may be an effective long-term solution. Implants provide greater structural support and last longer than both bridges or dentures. Implants serve as the artificial root to which new teeth are bonded.
They are typically constructed of titanium, a strong and safe material that effectively attaches to bone. The procedure to insert dental implants typically involve three steps: (1) the implant insertion stage, (2) osseointegration (the period of healing for the jawbone), and (3) the attachment of the restoration or new tooth.
