Dental Implants
An implant is a small biocompatible titanium screw that is inserted in the jaw to replace the root portion of a tooth.
Dental implants have been shown to actually integrate with the surrounding bone to form a solid foundation for the porcelain tooth that is placed on top.
Implants
The basic steps are as follows:
- A titanium screw is placed in the jawbone and left for a period of 3-6 months until it fuses to the bone forming a firm base.
- The screw is then uncovered and a post is attached to the now firmly established implant.
- Finally a natural looking porcelain tooth that blends in with the natural facial characteristics is secured to the post.
Dental implants can replace a single tooth or several teeth and can also be used to stabilize complete upper or lower dentures. The use of implants provides patients with a superior technique to replace missing teeth resulting in improved comfort, speech, chewing and a better sense of self-esteem.
