Dental Implants
What is a Dental Implant? A Detailed Explanation
A dental implant is an artificial root made of biocompatible titanium, usually in the shape of a screw. It is surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. The implant serves as a stable support for a single dental crown, a dental bridge, or a fixed denture, restoring both chewing function and the aesthetics of your smile.
Osseointegration process: Once placed in the jawbone, the dental implant undergoes a process called osseointegration. During this process, the surrounding bone cells grow and integrate directly with the surface of the implant, creating a stable and long-lasting connection. Osseointegration is essential to the long-term success of dental implants.
Types of Dental Implants: There are several types of dental implants available, varying in shape, size, and surface. Choosing the right type of implant depends on several factors, including the location of the missing tooth, the quality and quantity of available jawbone, and the specific needs of the patient.
