Dental implants are among the most advanced methods to replace missing teeth, and they function more like natural teeth than any other option. The implant is made of titanium alloy and is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses through a process called osseointegration. Over several months, new bone cells grow and attach to the implant, creating a stable, long-lasting foundation that helps prevent bone loss and doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.

Why might you need a bone graft after having a tooth removed? Once a tooth is gone, the surrounding bone begins to shrink quickly. A bone graft helps preserve that area, prevents collapse, and creates a stable foundation if you choose to replace the tooth with a dental implant later.
