Dental implants replace both the root and crown of missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone and becomes integrated with the bone, a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant supports a custom crown, bridge, or denture that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth. Implants help maintain facial structure and bone health, unlike removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums and can contribute to bone loss.
Teenagers face numerous milestones, including school dances, sports, dates, and job interviews. Unfortunately, trauma, decay, or congenital conditions sometimes result in missing teeth that undermine a young person’s confidence. When teeth are missing, teens may avoid smiling or even speaking up in class. Dental implants can restore both appearance and function, allowing teens to chew and speak normally. At Shan Dental, Dr. Pathak carefully assesses each teenager’s jaw development and overall health to determine if implants are suitable. Because implants fuse with bone, they require a mature jaw to ensure long‑term success. Once in place, implants can last decades, providing a long‑term solution without the inconvenience of removable dentures or temporary bridges. Teens who regain their smiles often find newfound confidence in social situations, sports, and extracurricular activities.
A warm, genuine smile is widely seen as a person’s most attractive feature. Missing teeth or ill‑fitting dentures can make dating feel daunting and lead people to hide their smiles. Dental implants offer a solution that not only fills gaps but also restores self‑confidence.

That peace of mind allows you to laugh, speak and enjoy meals with confidence, which can deepen connections with your partner.

Dental implants do much more than restore a beautiful smile. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jawbone can deteriorate. Implants act as replacement tooth roots, stimulating the bone and preventing bone loss.
They also help preserve nearby teeth:
Unlike traditional bridges. Implants do not require adjacent teeth to be reduced in size. This preserves your natural tooth structure and helps maintain proper bite alignment
