A dental implant is a titanium “root” used  to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing teeth,  A typical implant consists of a titanium screw (resembling a tooth root) with a roughened or smooth surface. The majority of dental implants are made out of commercially pure titanium that It is inserted into the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. After Osseointegration, or when the surrounding bone has attached to the implant, a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant. The new tooth looks, feels, and performs just like your natural teeth.

Dental implants can be used in a variety of situations, whether you need to replace a single missing tooth or many teeth. They can even be used to replace a full denture. As anchor points, implants can also securely attach a partial denture or bridge.

The success of dental implant placement, as with most surgical procedures, include the patient’s overall general health and compliance with post-surgical care.

Dental implants can improve your appearance, self-confidence, and give you peace of mind.

They look and feel similar to natural teeth, and the securely attached implant can give you the confidence of eating what you like, speaking easily and clearly, and a new sense of security.

Choosing dental implants as a treatment option can offer you a number of significant advantages.

Maintain anatomy:

Dental implants can help prevent deterioration of the jawbone, so your face retains it natural shape

Keep your healthy teeth:

Implants eliminate the need to grind down healthy teeth when replacing one or more adjacent teeth. Your own natural healthy teeth are not compromised.

Security:

Securely anchored dental implants do not slip or move. This eliminates some of the key problems of dentures, including poor fit, gum irritation and pain.

The result is superior comfort, reliability, and freedom from embarrassment

Implant supported crowns or dentures are a naturally better solution.
