Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. They offer a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth, improving functionality and aesthetics. The process involves implant placement, osseointegration, abutment attachment, and placement of the replacement tooth. Dental implants provide stability, durability, and preservation of jawbone structure, enhancing oral health and confidence. However, candidacy requires healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density, and potential risks include infection and implant failure, necessitating thorough evaluation and consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon.
