Dental Implants in Santo Domingo

Dental implants are titanium screws that replace missing roots and support a crown or prosthesis. Titanium integrates with the bone, providing excellent strength and durability.

They function like natural teeth, which is why they require good oral hygiene and regular check-ups every 4 to 6 months. Implants do not develop cavities, but the surrounding gum and bone can become diseased, a condition known as peri-implantitis.

Smoking increases the risk of infection and delays healing.

The cost varies depending on each case, the amount of available bone, and the number of teeth to be replaced. To determine whether a patient is a suitable candidate, a diagnostic evaluation and complementary studies are necessary. Dental implants are generally recommended from the age of 17–18 and for patients in good overall health.
