Unlike dentures or dental bridges, which do not engage with the jawbone, dental implants act as artificial tooth roots that fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This mimics natural tooth function, preserving bone density and ensuring a stable foundation for long-term oral health.

• Prevents jawbone shrinkage by continuously stimulating the bone
• Restores and maintains facial structure, preventing sunken cheeks and premature aging
• Enhances chewing ability and bite strength for a more varied diet
• Provides a secure, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures
• Improves overall oral health by maintaining natural bone density
  

Most adults with one or more missing teeth can benefit from dental implants, but the best candidates have:

• Adequate jawbone density to support the implant
• Healthy gums and no active periodontal disease
• Commitment to good oral hygiene for long-term implant success
• No uncontrolled chronic conditions, such as diabetes or osteoporosis, which may affect healing

For patients with severe bone loss, procedures such as bone grafting or All-on-X implants can help restore jawbone structure before implant placement.
