Oral Implant

An Oral Implant is a term that refers to a dental implant—a surgical component that is placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. The oral implant serves as a foundation for attaching a prosthetic tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, to restore the function and aesthetics of the teeth.

Key Features of Oral Implants:

1. Function:

   • The main purpose of an oral implant is to act as a replacement for the natural tooth root, providing a stable and durable base for artificial teeth. It allows patients to regain the ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally.

2. Material:

   • Oral implants are typically made from titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates well with bone (a process known as osseointegration). This ensures the implant stays securely anchored in the jaw.

3. Surgical Placement:

   • The oral implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses with the titanium implant, creating a strong and stable foundation for the prosthetic tooth. This process usually takes several months to complete.

4. Restoration:

   • Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a prosthetic tooth—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—is attached to the implant. The restoration is custom-made to match the patient’s natural teeth.

5. Types of Implants:

   • Single Implants: Used to replace one missing tooth.
   • Multiple Implants: Used for cases where multiple teeth are missing.
   • Implant-Supported Dentures: Used to support a full set of dentures, offering more stability than traditional dentures.

Benefits of Oral Implants:

• Permanent Solution: Oral implants offer a long-lasting, durable solution for replacing missing teeth. With proper care, implants can last for decades, potentially a lifetime.
• Natural Look and Feel: Oral implants look and feel like natural teeth, improving both function and appearance. They restore the ability to chew and speak normally.
• Prevents Bone Loss: Unlike bridges or dentures, oral implants help preserve the bone structure in the jaw by stimulating the bone growth where the implant is placed.
• Preserves Surrounding Teeth: Oral implants do not require alteration of adjacent healthy teeth, unlike dental bridges that rely on neighboring teeth for support.
