Key points
- An implant replaces root and tooth
- Planning defines how long it lasts
- Bone grafting widens the options
- Usually better than removable dentures
01What exactly is an implant?
It is a titanium root that integrates with the bone and holds a crown. It replaces both the root and the visible tooth, restoring function and esthetics.
02What makes it last
The key is planning: placing the implant in the right position and with enough bone. When bone is lacking, grafting creates the needed foundation.
An implant is not just a screw: it is planning. That's the difference between one that lasts and one that fails.
03Is it for me?
If you're missing one or more teeth, or have an unrecoverable one, an implant is usually the best long-term option over removable dentures. An assessment confirms it.
·Frequently asked questions
Can anyone get implants?
Most can, but bone and general health are assessed. Bone grafting expands the possibilities.
Does the procedure hurt?
It is done under local anesthesia and is usually more comfortable than expected.
