Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, bridges, and crowns, dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth, failing teeth, or chronic dental problems. They fit, feel, and function like natural teeth, making them the new standard in tooth replacement. Dr. Fakhoury uses medical-grade titanium implant fixtures that fuse to the living bone cells of the jaw, forming a strong, durable anchor for your new teeth. This ensures no slippage or movement, no eating difficulties, and no need for regular repairs, allowing you to smile confidently.

Dental implants typically consist of three parts: the implant (a screw that attaches to your jaw), the abutment (a connector that supports the tooth or teeth), and the crown (the visible part of the tooth, usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and aesthetics). You can use dental implants to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full upper and/or lower set of teeth, providing a versatile solution for various dental needs.
