What are dental implants?
Get the full story on dental implants, how they differ from other tooth-replacement options, and what they can do for you and your smile.
Dental implants for a permanent smile
When it comes to permanent tooth restoration, dental implants are the ideal choice. A dental implant is made up of a titanium post that gradually conforms with your jawbone. This fusion forms a strong and durable anchor for your new teeth. Unlike dentures which can slip around in your mouth, dental implants enable you to savor your favorite foods again and help you to speak with more confidence.
How do dental implants work?
The Implant: This titanium screw plays the role of a root for your new teeth, anchoring them permanently to your jaw.
The Abutment: The piece of the prosthetic that acts as the connector between the implant and the crown.
The Crown: The visible part of the tooth, made of beautiful material like zirconium or porcelain. The crown functions as an artificial tooth.
These three components come together to help you enjoy your favorite foods, improve your overall health, and of course, improve your self-confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the risks with dental implants?
Yes, dental implants are considered a safe procedure with a 95% success rate. The average lead ClearChoice doctor has performed more than 1,000 fixed full arch procedures and are experts at their craft. They will do everything they can to provide you with a safe and comfortable treatment experience.
How painful is getting a dental implant?
During the procedure, you'll be sedated to ensure you’re comfortable. After the treatment and after the numbness wears off, you might feel a bit sore. This can include swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, but your dentist will help you with pain medicine to make you more comfortable as your mouth heals.
How long does a dental implant last?
Dental implants are strong and can last more than 25 years with proper care and maintenance. With the right hygiene routine, like brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups with your dentist, an implant can last many years to come.
