Description

A dental implant is a titanium post or frame that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. It serves as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to restore the function and appearance of the missing tooth. There are typically three main components to a dental implant: 1. The Implant (Titanium Post): This is the part that is placed into the jawbone and acts as the root for the new tooth. 2. The Abutment: This is a connector piece that fits on top of the implant and holds the crown or other restoration in place. 3. The Crown: This is the visible part of the implant, designed to look like a natural tooth. Dental implants are a long-term solution to tooth loss and offer several advantages over other methods, such as dentures or bridges. They provide better stability, preserve jawbone health, and are more durable and comfortable. However, they require a good amount of healthy bone in the jaw to be effective, and the process involves surgery, which may take few months to complete.
