Dental implants help to replace partial and full dentures and to restore missing teeth without any need for anchors. They help in replacing roots of teeth, also allowing to fabricate restorations over these artificial roots. They provide perfect replacement and even look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
It is essential to get your missing teeth replaced with dental implants. It helps in preventing further health consequences like bone loss, jaw joint problems, alteration in the bite as a result of shifting teeth, shifting and drifting of the teeth, additional stress on the remaining teeth, and difficulty in chewing properly.
At first, the dentist plans the whole process. For proper placement, even specialized imaging may be required to visualize the bone condition and CBCT 3-dimensional scan for the radiographic study of the area.
A small titanium post, i.e., the tooth root implant, is placed on the site. As soon as the jawbone heals, it starts growing around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw. This takes at least six to twelve weeks. After that, a dental abutment is attached to the post to hold the new tooth securely. The porcelain crown is then placed, matching the color and shape of the natural teeth.
Dental implants are by far, the strongest replacement for your lost natural roots. No matter how hard the food is, you can easily chew with its help.
