What are dental implants?

Our dentists describe dental implants as titanium posts used to act as an artificial tooth root. It is placed into the bone of the jaw and can be restored in various ways depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. Dental implants may be restored using a dental crown, a dental bridge, or a full denture.

What is the cost of dental implants?

While dental implants are the most expensive option out of all tooth replacement solutions, they are often the best because they have the stability and strength other options do not supply. Additionally, when patients care for them properly over the years, they can last a lifetime, while alternatives require regular replacement. This makes them a wise investment in the long run.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq often recommend dental implants because of their many advantages. Dental implants are:

• A smart investment for long-term replacement of missing teeth
• Versatile, allowing the dentist to restore the implant with crowns, bridges, or dentures
• Perfect for replacing one or more teeth
• A great foundation for full dentures when used to hold them firmly in place
• A permanent solution that requires minimal care and attention
