Dental implant fixing is a highly durable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth.
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to act as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it provides a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, restoring both function and appearance.
Most people with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. However, if you have conditions like gum disease or bone loss, your dentist may recommend additional treatments, like bone grafting, to prepare for the implant. A consultation with your dentist will help determine if implants are right for you.
The process typically takes several months. After the implant is placed, there is a healing period of 3–6 months to allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration). Once healed, a crown or other restoration is attached. While it requires patience, the long-lasting results are worth it.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last a lifetime with proper care. The crown or prosthetic attached to the implant may need replacement over time due to wear and tear, but the implant itself is highly durable.
Treat dental implants like your natural teeth- brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing on hard objects (like ice or solid substance) to protect the restoration. Good oral hygiene will ensure your implants stay healthy and functional for years.
