Implants
A dental implant is a small, screw-like post made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or ceramic. It is surgically inserted into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration, providing a secure and stable foundation for a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
Parts of a dental implant
The implant consists of three main parts:
1. Implant fixture: The part placed directly in the bone, mimicking the function of a natural tooth root.
2. Abutment: A connector that sits above the gum line and attaches the prosthetic tooth to the implant.
3. Prosthetic Tooth (Crown, Bridge, or Denture): The visible part that restores the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth.
Benefits of dental implants
Because implants integrate with the jawbone, they provide superior stability compared to traditional dentures or bridges. They help maintain the natural shape of the face and prevent bone loss, which often occurs when teeth are missing.
Implants are widely considered one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for tooth replacement, offering a natural-looking and functional alternative to missing teeth.
