Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with your bone (a process called osseointegration), it serves as a stable base for a single crown, bridge, or even full-arch restoration. Implants are ideal for replacing one or a few missing teeth and are known for their strength, durability, and natural appearance.

Implant dentures, on the other hand, are dentures that attach to dental implants for added security and stability. Instead of relying on suction or adhesives, implant dentures "snap" into place on a few strategically placed implants—typically 2 to 6 per arch. These dentures can be removable or fixed and are a game-changer for patients who are tired of loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures.

Both options help preserve jawbone density and prevent the sunken facial appearance often caused by tooth loss. They also improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
