Learn More About Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, the implant is topped with a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture, restoring the look and function of a natural tooth.
Each implant consists of:
- The implant (titanium post placed in the bone)
- The abutment (connector between the implant and restoration)
- The crown (the visible tooth replacement)
Dental implants are the most durable and lifelike tooth replacement option available today.
Why Are Dental Implants Necessary?
When a tooth is lost or extracted, the bone in that area begins to deteriorate over time.
Dental implants help:
- Preserve jawbone structure and prevent bone loss
- Maintain facial appearance and support surrounding teeth
- Improve chewing function and speech
- Provide a permanent alternative to removable dentures or bridges
Unlike bridges or dentures, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and can last a lifetime with proper care.

I had a great experience placing an implant with Dr. Soung and his team. Doctor and his assistants explained each step of the process, answered all my questions, made sure surgery went smoothly and as comfortable as possible. His team is also very attentive and caring.
