WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

headin_border

A Dental implant is a tooth-root replacement, to which an implant crown is attached. The crown is part which is visible inside the mouth. Implants are artificial and they behave a bit differently from natural teeth. Screws are tools to facilitate the attachment of implant crowns to the dental implants. Dental implants are strategically placed to smoothen the connection between the gum tissues so that crowns can emerge in the right direction. Screw retained implants are easy to manage and are long lasting. Retention and Retrievability are the distinct characteristics of screw retained implants thus allowing easy removal, repair and replacement of implant crown components without damaging the restoration. Surgically placing titanium screw within the jaw as a replacement to a missing tooth is what is a dental implant. It helps in supporting the dental prosthesis and prevents any kind of dislocation of the teeth surrounding the missing tooth or even prevent the loosening of jawbones.

What are dental implants for ?

They serve to replace the root of one or more teeth that have been lost and thereby achieve the support to sustain the final Crown (s), besides that with the Implants the sacrifice or wear of other natural teeth is omitted to replace one or more lost teeth when performing fixed prostheses. Implants are also an invaluable support to support total, partial dentures etc. when you no longer have any single tooth and feel these fixed, strong and firm dentures such as Natural teeth. Never again will the Dentures fall again.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Many patients are sceptical of implant placement since they are newer than dentures and crowns, which have been around for a while. Furthermore, implants are slightly more expensive than dentures and bridges, thus individuals choose them over implants.
  • Implants, as opposed to dentures, are permanent solutions that provide more comfort and durability.
  • Because dentures cover a major portion of our gum tissue, taste and warmth sensations are almost completely lost during eating. This is not the case with implants.
  • Implant treatment takes longer to complete than bridge treatment. In the case of bridges, however, surrounding teeth are prepared to support the missing tooth and may be slightly impaired in strength and structure. Implants, on the other hand, are self-contained structures that do not affect neighbouring teeth.
  • They have the best aesthetics and look exactly like genuine teeth. Implants, unlike dentures, crowns, and bridges, can last a lifetime if done correctly.
