What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post that’s surgically placed in your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. After the bone heals around the implant (a process called osseointegration), a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the top.

Dental implants are used to:

Brush & floss daily to maintain overall oral health.

Avoid hard objects like ice or hard candy to prevent chipping.
Get regular checkups so your dentist can monitor and maintain your sealants.
Limit sugary and acidic foods to reduce decay risk.

With proper care, sealants can protect your teeth for years.

Replace a single missing tooth

Support multiple teeth

Anchor full-arch restorations like All-on-4 or implant dentures
