Dental Implants are replacements for tooth roots and missing or damaged tooth.
What is Dental Implant?
Dental implant surgery is an operation that uses screw-shaped metal abutments to replace tooth roots, and artificial teeth that are very similar in appearance and function to real teeth to replace damaged or missing teeth. Dental implant surgery can provide a popular alternative to inappropriate dentures or bridge surgery, and can provide an option when a denture or bridge tooth replacement cannot be performed due to a lack of a natural root.
Type of Material Used:
Dental implants are made of titanium and other materials compatible with the human body. Most dental implants are made of titanium, which is a very strong metal that bonds well to bones.
How it is done?
It is performed according to the type of implant and the condition of the jaw. Dental implant surgery may involve multiple procedures. The main benefit of implants is to provide firm support for your new teeth. This process requires bones to heal firmly around the implants. Since this bone healing takes time, the process can take months.
