Why Would Our Doctors Recommend A Dental Implant
Dental implants are intended to offer a solid basis for replacement teeth. These false teeth appear, feel, and function much like natural teeth. Dental implants are transforming the way our patients live. A person who has lost a tooth can regain the capacity to eat using that tooth again. A dental implant looks perfectly natural and, once placed, keeps your facial features intact. Implants can help to prevent bone loss caused by missing teeth. Implants are one of the healthiest options to restore lost teeth.
What Are Dental Implants Made Of?
A dental implant is constructed of titanium. A tiny titanium post is surgically implanted in the patient’s jawbone where the original tooth is gone. This post serves as an anchor. After the post is installed, the abutment is screwed into the implant, and finally, the crown is affixed to the implant.
Three Simple Steps To Place A Dental Implant
There are three parts that make up a dental implant.
- The implant: A titanium screw.
- The abutment: A small piece that insures a snug fit.
- Crown – The top part of the tooth that is attached to the implant.
Dental implants are very cost effective and if properly cared for will last for many many years. The process of placing a dental implant is simple and straightforward and is a regular treatment here at CopperMine Dental Studio.
