Dental implants have been used successfully for more than 30 years to replace missing teeth and restore smiles. While the procedure involves oral surgery, implants are considered one of the safest and most predictable tooth replacement options available. Success rates are consistently high—studies report rates above 95% for healthy patients—and the risk of serious complications is low when performed by an experienced dental professional.

Implants are made from biocompatible materials, most often titanium, which naturally fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This allows the implant to act like a natural tooth root, providing stability and preventing bone loss. The materials used have been extensively studied and shown to be safe for long-term use in the body.
