Dental implants
A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your
jaw to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or even a full denture. Dental
implants are made of pure titanium, a material that is totally bio
compatible (compatible with body tissues) and actually integrates with
the surrounding bone and becomes part of the body. Dental implants are
an effective, safe and predictable solution to the problems resulting
from missing teeth. The best way of permanently replacing a tooth is to
fit a dental implant, onto which a ceramic crown is then placed.
Implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for
artificial teeth. Main advantage of dental implant over
conventional crown and bridge is with dental implants we can avoid
cutting of adjacent healthy teeth.
How long ??
Although nothing is forever, typically for a patient 45 years
or older, dental implants are for life. The actual implant thus can
last for a number of years. It is the crown or the cap that undergoes
wear similar to tires on a car. As a result, crown replacement is
necessary between 10-15 years on average
Dental implants are typically made of titanium,
a biocompatible material that is accepted by the body and serves as a
strong and sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Your natural bone locks the implant into place by fusing, or attaching itself, to the implant.
