Implants (Dental)

A medical device, usually made of Grade 4 or Grade 5 Titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to function as an artificial tooth root.

Why It Matters

It is the only restorative option that preserves bone. Bridges and dentures allow bone to melt away; implants stimulate the jawbone like natural teeth.

Clinical Details

• Osseointegration: The biological process where bone cells fuse directly to the titanium surface, locking it in place (takes 3-6 months).
