Dental implants are medical devices which are surgically inserted into the jaw to improve a person’s look or ability to chew. They offer support for dentures, bridges, and other artificial teeth, like as crowns.

Dental implants are the gold standard for modern-day tooth replacement. Since they fuse with your surrounding bone, implants essentially become a permanent part of your new smile. Best of all, dental implants can work together to support one or several teeth at a time. They’re the next best thing to having natural teeth all over again.

A dental implant treatment can be used to replace a missing tooth, greatly enhancing the patient’s quality of life and overall health. When a tooth is lost due to trauma or disease, issues can occur, including rapid bone loss, speech impairment, or changes in chewing patterns that cause discomfort.

Dental implant systems are made up of an implant body, an abutment, and, in some cases, an abutment fixing screw. In place of the tooth’s root, the dental implant body is surgically placed in the jawbone. The dental implant abutment often extends through the gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth after being fixed to the implant body with an abutment fixation screw.
