What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a surgical procedure used to replace missing teeth. The implant, typically made of titanium, is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, and it fuses with the surrounding natural tissue in a process called osseointegration. After a healing period, an abutment (a connector) links the implant to a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture.

Part 1

Implant Screw

Made of titanium and surgically placed in the bone. Titanium is accepted extremely well by the body and fuses with the bone during healing.

Part 2

Abutment

A metal connector that attaches to the top of the implant screw and serves as the base for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Part 3

Crown, Bridge, or Denture

The manufactured replacement teeth that fit on the abutment. Placing them is the final step of the implant process.

The root-form implant described above is the most common type. Implants can support a single crown, a bridge replacing several teeth, or dentures.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are typically suitable for most healthy adults. Certain aspects of your health must qualify you for implant placement, and your dentist will help you reach the necessary level of health with preparatory treatments if needed. After a checkup, your dentist will tell you whether implants are right for you.

What Your Dentist Will Assess

✓ Bone density: There must be enough bone at the site for the implant to integrate. If your bone needs enhancement, a bone graft may be needed first.
✓ Oral health: Your teeth should be cavity-free and your gums clear of periodontal disease.
✓ General health: Because placement is surgical, you need to be healthy enough for the procedure and for proper healing.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Implants are a popular way to replace missing teeth because they offer benefits other options cannot match:

Natural Look & Feel

They closely resemble natural teeth and fuse with bone for permanent stability.

No Slipping

Implants eliminate the need for slipping dentures and allow for normal speech.

Comfortable Eating

They function like natural teeth, so you can eat comfortably and smile with more confidence.

Neighbouring Teeth Untouched

Nearby teeth are not altered to support an implant, which preserves overall oral health.

Durable

Implants are very durable and, with proper care, many last a lifetime.

Low Maintenance

They need the same care as natural teeth: brushing, flossing, antibacterial rinsing, and regular check-ups.

What Happens If You Don’t Replace a Missing Tooth?

When a tooth is missing, the jawbone in that area can start to shrink from lack of stimulation. This can change the appearance of your smile and even alter the structure of your face, making you look older.

Over time, surrounding teeth may drift or become loose, which can change your bite, lead to possible bone erosion, and even affect your speech. Replacing a missing tooth sooner helps protect the teeth and bone you still have.

Common Consequences of a Gap

✓ Shrinking jawbone in the area of the missing tooth
✓ Changes to your smile and facial structure
✓ Loose or drifting neighbouring teeth
✓ Changes to your bite and speech

Frequently Asked Questions

A good candidate is typically a healthy adult with enough bone density at the implant site, good oral health, and overall health that supports proper healing after surgery. If preparatory treatment such as a bone graft is needed, your dentist can help you reach the level of health required for implant placement.

Treatment takes place in stages. The implant is first placed into the jawbone, a healing period follows while it fuses with the bone (osseointegration), and then the abutment and final crown, bridge, or denture are attached. The total length depends on how you heal and on your individual case, so your dentist can give you a timeline after your consultation.

Implants offer long-term benefits: they resemble and function like natural teeth, prevent the slipping of dentures, preserve neighbouring teeth, and can last many years with proper care. Bridges and dentures can still be the right choice in some cases, so the best option depends on your oral health, the number of missing teeth, and your treatment goals.

Dental implants generally have a high success rate of 90 to 95 percent in healthy individuals who maintain good oral hygiene. Success can vary depending on factors such as your overall health and oral hygiene habits.

Implants are typically placed under local anesthesia in the dentist’s office, so the procedure itself is usually not painful. Any minor discomfort afterwards can be managed with medication prescribed by your dentist.

Most patients are able to return to work the day after the procedure, unless their dentist advises otherwise. Your dentist will give you aftercare instructions based on your treatment.

The jawbone in that area can shrink from lack of stimulation, which can change your smile and facial structure and make you look older. Surrounding teeth may also drift or become loose over time, affecting your bite and speech.
