What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?

Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. Made of biocompatible titanium, they are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture can be securely attached to restore function and appearance. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants mimic the natural tooth structure, offering durability and comfort. This process, called osseointegration, ensures the implant stays firmly in place, providing a long-lasting and effective way to restore your smile. At Gresham Advanced Dentistry, we specialize in providing high-quality dental implants for our patients.
