Implant

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. They provide a long-term, durable solution for missing teeth and help restore both function and aesthetics.

A dental implant consists of three main parts:

1. Implant: A titanium post that integrates with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
2. Abutment: A connector that attaches the implant to the artificial tooth.
3. Crown: The visible, custom-made replacement tooth that matches the natural teeth in shape and color.

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures and bridges. They prevent bone loss, improve chewing efficiency, and provide a natural appearance. Unlike dentures, implants do not slip or require adhesives, making them a more comfortable and permanent option.

The procedure typically involves multiple stages, including implant placement, healing time for bone integration, and crown attachment. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them one of the most effective solutions for tooth replacement.
