Dental implants are the vogue of the day to effectively and efficiently
replace missing teeth. They provide a fixed solution to having removable
partial or complete dentures. The teeth attached to implants are very
natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!
There are biocompatible posts (screws), which can replace the roots of
teeth and are made of titanium coated with plasma. They are surgically
placed in the upper or lower jaw and they function as an anchor for
replacement teeth. The greatest advancement in dentistry in the last 40
years is the development and usage of dental implants.
Dental implants are a far superior alternative to other forms of teeth
replacement. Implants are very strong, stable and durable typically last
many years.
Dental implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They do not
affect adjacent teeth. They reestablish vital functions like chewing and
speech, restore facial fullness and prevent teeth from shifting. Last and
most importantly they bring back patient's smiles
There are generally four phases to getting an implant restored which involves multiple visits over several months:
Good oral hygiene, eating habits and regular dental visits will aid in the life of the implant. Diabetes and tobacco use may interfere with healing after surgery.
