Dental implants are implanted in the patient's jaw to replace a single or multiple missing teeth. They are implanted in the jaw through minor surgical procedure. The dental implant is then fitted with a prosthetic crown to replace the missing tooth.
Dental implants are generally made of special metals, usually titanium. The titanium implant adheres to the jawbone through a healing process for several months. After fusing with the jawbone, the implant acts as a new tooth root. The artificial dental crown is placed side by side with abutment which acts as a link between dental implants and dental crowns. By connecting the jawbone to a dental implant, the dental implant will not change position during patient use.
Placement of dental implants is a solution that helps restore lost teeth. However, some people hesitate to do this treatment because they have doubts.
Discover the myths and truths about dental implants.
This treatment can be done by anyone over the age of 17 (it is around this age that the process of bone formation in the face ends). However, it is more commonly performed in older people because as age advances, tooth loss becomes more common.
Over time, the bone begins to weaken and may even deteriorate. This can make it impossible to directly place an implant, requiring a bone graft.
The material from which implants are made (usually titanium) results in biological compatibility with bone tissue. This way your implant is accepted by the body and there is no risk of rejection.
With some treatments, such as All-On-4, all teeth can be restored. In some cases, it may be necessary to do a bone graft or remove a tooth which makes treatment difficult.
The installation of dental implants is a treatment of a certain complexity. Therefore, it is necessary that it be performed by a specialist dentist.
One of the great advantages of dental implants is their resemblance to real teeth. They are individually designed and therefore adapt naturally to you.

Implants are designed to replace the root of the tooth, while bridges, crowns or dentures are attached to implants to provide better aesthetics and functionality. It is important to note that not all patients are suitable for dental implants. This may be due to presence of certain diseases, resorption of the jaw, or risky habits. Placing a bridge or dentures in such cases results in damage to the adjacent teeth and leads to the jawbone shrinking under the missing tooth over time. Placing dental implants helps preserve the jawbone while being completely independent of the surrounding teeth.
Many people are panicked before going to dentists, which causes them to avoid the dental office until a visit becomes inevitable.This reasoning on the part of the patients leads to a number of oral health complications and often tooths loss. The only solution then is to implants. Thanks to advanced in medical research in the field of dentistry, dental implant treatment has become a very common procedure that is not associated with a long recovery period.
