What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. These biocompatible metal anchors serve as a strong foundation for attaching replacement teeth, providing a permanent solution for tooth loss.
Unlike removable dentures or traditional bridges, dental implants become part of your jaw through a process called osseointegration, where the titanium fuses with your natural bone.
A complete dental implant system consists of three primary components:
- The Implant: A titanium screw that replaces the tooth root
- The Abutment: A connector piece that attaches to the implant
- The Prosthetic Crown: The visible part that resembles a natural tooth
For patients missing all their teeth in one or both arches, All-on-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary solution requiring fewer implant posts.
Benefits of Dental Implants

Frequently Asked Questions
How painful is the dental implant procedure?
Most patients report less discomfort than expected. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, and post-operative pain is typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Many patients return to work the day after surgery. Learn more about pain management.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself (the titanium post) rarely needs replacement if properly placed and maintained. The crown portion may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear. Read our care tips for long-lasting results.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies widely. Some dental insurance plans now provide partial coverage for implants. Medical insurance may cover implants in cases of injury or congenital conditions. Always check with your specific providers for coverage details. Learn more about insurance coverage.
What happens if I don't have enough bone for an implant?
Bone grafting procedures can build up deficient bone, creating a suitable foundation for implants. For severe upper jaw bone loss, zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone may be an option.
