Increasingly, patients and dentists are talking more about dental implants. The use of them is vastly progressing due to their high rate of success both in function and longevity. This is due to the implant approach. When a tooth is lost, the most complicated question is how to stabilize a new tooth.
Most replacement teeth are stabilized by hovering a false tooth that is connected to neighboring teeth either cemented in place or using clasps. Neither of these options is ideal, to cement the false tooth we have to permanently alter the neighboring tooth, and the use of clasps damage neighboring teeth as the clasp scratches and scrapes it. A dental implant does not rely on or use neighboring teeth.
A dental implant is a metal post that is secured directly to the jaw bone. Once your bone tissue has healed this post will serve as a new tooth root, allowing us to rebuild the tooth. A dental implant allows your new tooth to be secured, in place, without damaging or relying on neighboring teeth.
Dental implants are made of titanium which has been found to be the ideal metal for surgical procedures due to its biocompatibility, along with its strength. Titanium is used in surgical restorations by surgeons throughout the skeletal frame.
