How do implants work?


Dental implants have become the preferred method of tooth replacement because of their natural look and unsurpassed functional ability. To understand why implants work so well, it is important to understand the process of “osseointegration,” which occurs when bone cells in the jaw attach themselves directly to the surface of the titanium implant. First noted by a Swedish researcher in the 1960s, osseointegration essentially locks the implant in place, enabling it to support anything from a single missing tooth to a full arch (all teeth in the upper and lower jaw). Osseointegration is the same process that hip implants rely on to ensure the functional integrity of replacement joints. It is strength that can be relied upon.

  4. The function of dental implants is to provide a stable foundation for teeth that have been lost or damaged. A single tooth dental implant is a surgically placed artificial replacement for a missing or injured tooth. The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the type of implant and the location where it is placed.
