Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, anchoring replacement teeth to your jawbone. Made of titanium, these implants have the unique ability to fuse with living bone, creating a stable and reliable foundation for replacement teeth.
Important Note:
The number of implants needed varies by individual - depending on bone density and volume, you may need anywhere from four to six implants for optimal function.
