What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This procedure involves a multi-step process that includes:
- Placement of the Implant Body: Surgically inserted into the jawbone, replacing the root of the missing tooth.
- Attachment of the Abutment: Connects to the implant body and protrudes through the gums to support the artificial tooth.
- Placement of the Artificial Tooth: A crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
Types of Dental Implants
- Single-tooth implants: Replace a single missing tooth, preserving surrounding teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures: Secure dentures in place, preventing slippage and improving stability.
- Full-arch restorations: Replace an entire arch of missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics.
