1. What Dental Implants Are - A dental implant is a titanium post surgically inserted into your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a crown (custom-made replacement tooth) is attached to the implant, creating a strong and stable foundation.
2. How They Fix Missing Teeth - Single tooth replacement: One implant supports one crown. Multiple teeth replacement: Several implants can support a bridge or denture. Full mouth restoration: Four to six implants can support a full arch of teeth (All-on-4/All-on-6 implants).
3. Why They’re a Long-Term Fix - Permanent integration: The implant fuses with your jawbone (osseointegration), making it extremely stable. No impact on nearby teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down healthy teeth. Prevention of bone loss: They stimulate the jawbone and prevent the bone deterioration that usually follows tooth loss. High success rate: Over 95% success rate when done by an experienced dental specialist.
4. How Long They Last - With proper care — including good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding smoking — dental implants can last 20 years or longer, often a lifetime. The attached crown may need replacement every 10–15 years due to normal wear.
5. When Implants Might Not Be Suitable - You may need additional treatments before implants if you have: Significant bone loss (may require bone grafting), Gum disease, Uncontrolled diabetes or smoking habit.
