Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the Jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth designed to match your natural teeth. 

The dental implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, this provides stable support for artificial teeth like crowns, bridges, dentures ensuring they stay securely in place. 

For successful dental implants, strong and healthy bone is crucial for support. Factors like sinus structure, age, smoking history, diet, and overall health influence candidacy. A thorough medical screening helps identify potential risks. Weak bone density, possibly due to factors like smoking or tooth loss, might require a bone graft. A CBCT scan assesses oral anatomy and bone density to ensure safe implant placement.
