The closest thing to a natural tooth — permanent, beautiful, and functional
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a natural-looking crown is attached to the top. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement and have a success rate of over 95%.

Implant treatment is completed in stages over several months. First, the implant post is placed in the jawbone. After 3–6 months of healing and bone fusion, an abutment and custom crown are attached. The final result is a beautiful, permanent tooth replacement.
