Dental Implants: What Patients Should Know
Reviewed by Dr. Gajulavarthi Joel Sandeep, MDS, Implantologist & Periodontologist · · 5 min read
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge or denture. It is one of several ways to replace missing teeth, and it may be considered after a clinical and radiographic evaluation.
Treatment usually involves planning, placement, a healing period and then the final restoration. Timelines vary between patients depending on bone quality, gum health and general health.
Not everyone is suitable for implants. Your dentist can explain the alternatives, such as bridges or removable options, and help you weigh them against your own dental condition.
