DENTAL IMPLANT

DENTAL IMPLANT

A dental implant is the only permanent replacement to your missing teeth. Its like having your old tooth back. A dental implant looks exactly like your natural teeth and functions the same.

 

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a screw made from titanium which is placed in the jaw at the site of the missing teeth. The material used for a dental implant is titanium because it is a bio-compatible material. A biocompatible material doesn’t cause any irritation to the gingiva. This screw acts as the root portion of the teeth. The screw is attached to the alveolar bone by means of osseointegration. Once the screw is fully integrated into the jaw, the crown is placed on it. The crown looks exactly like a natural tooth crown.
