Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. This is made from a biocompatible material such as titanium or zirconia, so it is well accepted by the body and without fear of rejection. Implants are placed into the bone where teeth are missing.
The bone then fuses to the implant surface creating a strong foundation for the artificial teeth. An abutment is a component that is fastened to the implant and extends through the gum tissue to serve as an attachment for the replacement teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace one missing tooth, an entire set of teeth or to simply secure loose and ill-fitting dentures. This field of Dentistry is changing the lives of many patients. It has become the preferred method to replace missing and failing teeth.
