implant surgery

Implant surgery involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth, such as a crown or bridge. The procedure typically requires numbing the area and making a small incision in the gum to insert the implant. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant through a process called osseointegration, providing stability. Once healed, an abutment is attached, which connects the implant to the artificial tooth. This procedure restores function and appearance for missing teeth, offering a durable and natural-looking solution.
