What Are Dental Implants And Why Are They Valuable?

A titanium metal prosthetic root is called a dental implant. It is designed to replace the natural tooth's root by being strategically inserted into the jawbone. Attached to the implant is a synthetic replacement tooth. To secure the replacement tooth in place, the implant serves as an anchor. Missing teeth can lead to several issues over time, making dental implants a restorative solution for long-term oral health:

• Dental implants do not require alterations to the surrounding healthy teeth, preserving oral health.
• If you do not replace lost teeth with dental implants, neighbouring teeth may move into the empty space, causing alignment issues.
• Dental implants can make cleaning and maintaining oral health easier and stop jawbone loss, which frequently happens after tooth extractions.

How Is This Restoration Placed?

• Examination: To determine whether dental implants are right for you, our dentist will perform an oral examination and take digital X-rays of your head, jaw, and teeth.
• Implant Procedure: Our dentist will carefully insert your personalized dental implant beneath the gumline into your jawbone during the initial stage of your restoration. The implant is designed to adhere to the gum and form a bond with the bone as the tissue heals.
• Healing Process: The healing process, also known as osseointegration, may take several months.
• Abutment: Following tissue healing, an abutment — the post that joins the replacement tooth to the implant — will be attached to the implant.
• Final Restoration: A customized bridge, crown, or denture is attached to the abutment as the last step. The result is crafted to provide a functional tooth that looks natural and blends in seamlessly with your other teeth.
