After healing and fusing with the bone, a custom crown is attached, restoring the look and function of your smile. Implants are highly realistic and stable, offering the closest look, bite force, and feel to natural teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"398\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1225 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/acedental.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"Dental implant: a small titanium post placed in the jawbone as an artificial tooth root.\" title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"398\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1225 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/acedental.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"Dental implant: a small titanium post placed in the jawbone as an artificial tooth root.\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure><\/b><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Dentures<\/b><\/h3>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dentures are prosthetic teeth that replace missing teeth, similar to a prosthetic limb.
