Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. They are made of biocompatible materials, typically titanium, and are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. Dental implants provide a stable foundation for the attachment of dental prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
The process of getting dental implants involves several stages. Firstly, the implant is inserted into the jawbone through a minor surgical procedure. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant through a process called osseointegration, which provides a strong and durable anchor for the replacement tooth.
Once the implant has integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to it. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant and the dental prosthesis. It protrudes through the gum line, allowing the custom-made crown or other dental restoration to be securely attached.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits. They look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable solution compared to traditional removable dentures. Implants also restore the functionality of the mouth, enabling proper chewing and speaking. Moreover, they help maintain the integrity of the jawbone by preventing bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing.
