What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. They replace missing teeth and hold crowns, bridges, or dentures in place. Implants are made of titanium, a strong material that bonds with your jawbone.

How the Procedure Works

A dentist or specialist places a small titanium post into your jawbone. This can be done with local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs.

After placement, the implant needs time to heal and bond with the bone. This usually takes a few months. Once healed, a crown or replacement tooth is attached so you can chew and smile normally.

When Implants Can Be Placed

  • Right after a tooth is removed
  • A few weeks to a few months after a tooth is removed
  • Several months after a tooth is removed

Your dentist will also decide when to attach the new tooth:

  • Right away
  • Within a few weeks
  • After several months of healing

Cost of Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants depends on your treatment plan, how many implants you need, and whether extra procedures are required.

The price may change based on:

  • How many implants you need
  • The type of implant and materials used
  • The type of tooth replacement (crown, bridge, or denture)
  • Whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed
  • The complexity of your case

Although implants cost more at first, they can last many years and may save money over time.

Success Rates

Dental implants are very successful. Studies show success rates of about 90–95%. Good oral hygiene and not smoking can improve your results.

Extra Procedures

Some people need extra procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift. These help create enough bone to support the implant.

Who May Not Be a Good Candidate

Most people can get implants, but certain health conditions or habits may affect healing. Your dentist will check your bone, medical history, and oral health to make sure implants are safe for you.
