What is Dental Implant?
|
1.
Dental Implant is the surgical placement of the implant(s) into the bone.
This is done with a local anesthetia. After surgery, there is a healing
period, during this time, the implants fuse to the bone by a process known as
‘osseointegration’. |

2.
Next, there is a small surgical exposure of the top of the implant, whereby
the dentist will attach the post to the implant(s). The function of the post
is to become the support for either one tooth or a set of teeth, this is a
short procedure that usually requires only local anesthesia. |

3.
The last phase is called the restorative phase. The dentist will take
impressions and then make a prosthesis that will attach to the implants.
Once completed, your mouth will be restored to natural looking, strong
teeth. |

Dental implants replaces fractured or broken teeth with artificial teeth. The
artificial tooth is inserted into the jaw. Dental implantology is a recent
development. By dental implants you can replace a single tooth or several teeth.
Jawbones play a major part to support a prosthetic tooth. Different forms of
oral implants exist. Teeth implants are inserted into the jawbone surgically, or
on top of the jawbone and done using device similar to a nut and a pressure
plate.
Prosthodontist determines the type of dental implant you need. Any one missing a
tooth can go for dental implant. For complicated and advanced dental implants,
metal plates and screws are inserted into the jawbones to give increased jaw
support. It will look like a real tooth and also functions like natural teeth.
Bone anchored tooth implants compensate for lost root support. Dental implants look very natural that you cannot differentiate the
artificial teeth from real natural teeth. Custom Implant is also available.
