The modern way to replace missing teeth

Dental implants are a permanent, stable way to complete your smile. You don’t need to remove them, and they don’t move around when you’re speaking or eating — unlike partials and dentures.

How dental implants work


Dental implants are made from titanium — a strong, biocompatible material that’s gentle on bone and soft tissue. After the implant is placed, your jawbone naturally grows around it and fuses to it, locking it firmly in place. The titanium implant becomes the “root” of your missing tooth.

Once your bone has healed completely around the implant, Dr. Chaudhry caps it with a lifelike porcelain crown. Your dental implant looks and feels completely natural — you brush and floss it the same way you do your other teeth.

Why patients choose implants

  • They look just like your natural teeth.
  • You clean them like natural teeth and never have to take them out.
  • They’re secure and stable — embedded in bone, a permanent part of your smile.
  • Treatment is conservative — the adjacent healthy teeth aren’t touched, the way they would be for a bridge.
  • They help retain bone in your jaw, supporting a firm jawline and youthful facial contours.
  • They’re stain-resistant and don’t decay.

Removable appliances, by contrast, can press against your jaw and slowly cause bone to diminish over the years. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
