Dental Implant

A dental implant is a modern and highly effective solution for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. It involves surgically placing a titanium post or screw into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant has fused with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to restore the appearance and function of the tooth.

Key Components of a Dental Implant:

1. Implant Post (Fixture):

   • The titanium screw or post that is placed into the jawbone. This serves as the replacement root for the missing tooth.
   • Titanium is used because it is biocompatible, meaning it integrates well with the bone without causing rejection.

2. Abutment:

   • A connector piece that attaches to the implant post and extends above the gum line. The abutment serves as the support for the artificial tooth (crown) or other dental restoration.

3. Artificial Tooth (Crown/Bridge):

   • The visible part of the implant that replaces the missing tooth. It is custom-made to look like a natural tooth and is typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Natural Look and Feel: Implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, providing a highly aesthetic and functional result.
• Long-lasting: Dental implants are durable and can last for many years (often 20+ years) with proper care.
• Improved Functionality: Unlike dentures, implants do not slip or move. They allow for normal biting and chewing, restoring full function to the mouth.
• Preservation of Jawbone: Implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when a tooth is missing. The stimulation provided by the implant promotes bone health.
• No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, which may require modification of adjacent teeth, implants do not affect nearby teeth.
