Your teeth in the spotlight.
There are many reasons to lose a tooth — but no reason to lose quality of life because of it. Modern implants can restore how you eat, speak and smile. Here's what you need to know before you begin.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth root. Once it's placed in the jaw, the bone grows around it — a process called osseointegration — creating a stable foundation. A crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis is then attached on top.
The result is a replacement tooth that looks natural, functions like the real thing, and helps preserve the jawbone that tends to shrink after tooth loss.
- Replaces a single tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.
- Doesn't rely on grinding down neighbouring teeth.
- Cared for much like a natural tooth.
