What Is a Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr.. explains what a dental implant is and why it has become one of the most common ways to replace missing teeth.

A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone, it provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. This stability allows the replacement tooth to function and feel much more like a natural tooth compared to removable options. Implants also help preserve bone and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth. If you or a loved one is dealing with missing teeth, a free consultation with 3D imaging will give you a clear, customized plan to restore your smile in a way that fits your goals and budget.
