A missing tooth is rarely just cosmetic. It changes how you bite, how the neighbouring teeth behave, and — over time — the bone that once supported the tooth. A dental implant addresses all three.
How an implant works
A small, biocompatible titanium post replaces the root of the missing tooth and integrates with the bone. It then supports a natural-looking crown, bridge or denture that functions and feels like your own tooth.
Planned by specialists, together
At Salona’s Dental Care, our implantologists and prosthodontists plan the implant and the tooth it supports as one. Where the bone needs support — for example a sinus graft in the upper jaw — that is planned in advance, so the final result sits and looks exactly where it should.
Built to last
Well-placed and well-maintained, implants preserve your bone, protect the surrounding teeth and can last many years — outlasting conventional bridges and dentures. Every case begins with an assessment of your gums, bone and bite, and suitability is confirmed at a consultation.
