Dental Implants

A permanent solution for missing teeth. Dental implants act as artificial roots that support crowns, bridges, or dentures, giving you natural function and appearance.

Ideal for: Single or multiple missing teeth, full-mouth restoration

Comfort: Performed under local anesthesia

Sessions: 2–3 visits over a few months

Aftercare: Regular cleaning and check-ups essential

Definition

Dental Implants are titanium posts placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They fuse with the bone and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures — restoring chewing ability and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful? No, the procedure is done under anesthesia. Mild soreness may occur for a few days.

How long do dental implants last? With proper care, they can last 15–25 years or even a lifetime.

Can anyone get implants? Most healthy adults can. Adequate bone density and healthy gums are required.

How soon can I use the implant? After healing and integration (2–6 months), the crown is placed for full function.
