A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone that acts like a tooth root. Once it heals, a custom bridge, crown, or denture is attached, giving you a strong, natural-looking replacement tooth.
Implants stay put, look like real teeth, and feel secure when you chew and speak. Many patients can enjoy all their favorite foods again and smile without worrying that their teeth will slip or move.
Unlike other replacements, implants stimulate your jawbone, helping prevent bone loss and facial sagging. With a success rate of about 95% or more, they’re a reliable, long-term solution for many adults.
Implants require minor surgery, healing time, and a higher upfront cost. You also need healthy gums and enough bone. For many, though, the comfort, stability, and confidence are worth the investment.
At River Square Family Dentistry, Dr. Gehan Girgis offers single implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant dentures (All-on-X) to restore one tooth, several teeth, or a full smile—customized just for you.
