What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone (alveolar bone) to replace missing teeth. They serve as a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth made of porcelain or zirconia crowns. Implants are placed below the gum line and are not visible in the mouth. The success of dental implants depends on various factors such as bone health, blood sugar levels, thyroid function, overall health, and proper postoperative care.
